Three absconders arrested

Three persons, who had escaped from police custody along with a dreaded criminal in Nagaur last year, were arrested today, police said.
The absconders, Subhash Moond, Hanuman Singh and Vijay Pal, were arrested after the police chased down their SUV in Sikar district, SP Sikar Akhilesh Kumar said.
A foreign made pistol and 110 live cartridges were recovered from their possession, he said.
Kumar said the accused were involved in several criminal cases.
Moond, who carried a cash reward of Rs 50,000 on his head, had escaped with notorious criminal Anandpal from police custody while being taken back to Ajmer from a court in Nagaur in 2015, IG Ajmer Malini Agrawal said.

Hanuman Singh had driven the vehicle in which Anandpal, Subhash Moond and another criminal Srivallabh had escaped, she said, adding Vijay Pal was also present in the vehicle.

"These are important catches," Agrawal said.
Sikar SP Akhilesh Kumar said the accused used to roam in the SUV and never stayed for a long period at one place.
They had all the items of daily use inside the vehicle so that they can move around without having to stop anywhere, he said.
The criminals had escaped allegedly with the help of some policemen. Twelve policemen, including the SHO of Parbatsar police station in Nagaur district were suspended for dereliction in duty in the case.

Though many aides of Anandpal have been arrested so far, the ganglord is still at large, police said.
Anandpal, who carries a cash reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head, is involved in over two dozen cases in Didwana, Jaipur, Sikar, Sujangarh, Churu, Sanganer among others. He is also the main accused in high profile murder cases like Jivan Ram Godara murder case of Didwana (Nagaur) and Gopal Fogawat murder case of Sikar district.
