A murder convict, who was absconding after being released on parole three years ago, was arrested on Thursday, police said.
The man was identified as Mohit Wadhwa (30), a resident of Hissar in Haryana.
He was undergoing life imprisonment in a murder case registered against him in 2006 and was released on parole in 2016.
Acting on a tip-off that Wadhwa will be coming to Dwarka Sector 20 to meet one of his associates, police laid a trap, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Anto Alphonse said.
At around 7.15 pm, Wadhwa was intercepted and was eventually nabbed by police, the DCP said, adding that a loaded pistol was seized from his possession.
During interrogation, he revealed that he was planning a robbery.
