New Delhi: Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested a 52-year-old proclaimed offender who allegedly evaded arrest for nearly 15 years in a 2011 armed robbery case involving gold-chain snatching, a knife attack and carjacking.
Police said the accused was arrested in Rohini on October 17, 2026. A reward of ₹20,000 had been declared for his arrest.
