Man Wanted in Kerala Vehicle Theft Cases Arrested in Uttar Pradesh After 22 Years
Baldev Singh, a 60-year-old vehicle thief from Haryana's Palwal district, was arrested in Uttar Pradesh after evading capture for nearly 22 years. Singh allegedly stole cars across northern India, used forged documents from Odisha, and sold them in Kerala's Kannur district. Despite multiple cases and warrants since 2004, he remained at large, reportedly living in various states and becoming a district-level political leader. He was apprehended during a drive to resolve long-pending cases and remanded to judicial custody in Kannur.
