A man wanted in several criminal cases who escaped from judicial custody by eluding policemen in outer Delhi's Bawana area while being taken to a court in Sonepat, has been arrested after a nearly three-month chase, police said today.
The accused, Deepak Dabas, is involved in at least 26 cases in Delhi and Haryana, of which four cases of attempt to murder and robbery were registered after he escaped from judicial custody on April 11, DCP (Outer) Vikramjit Singh said today.
Dabas landed in the police net after he sustained a bullet injury while trying to kill one Manjeet, a member of a rival gang, around two weeks ago. He and his associate earlier shot dead Manjeet's elder brother Devender Rathi.
Dabas and his men robbed a man of his car on gunpoint in outer Delhi's Rohini area and kept taking shelter at different hideouts until the chase ended with his arrest yesterday, police said.
