Mohammad Armaan, accused in the 2023 murder of lawyer Umesh Pal and two police personnel in Prayagraj, was found in Gaya Central Jail, Bihar, where he had been held in judicial custody for a separate firing case since shortly after the incident. Despite being considered absconding for over three years and a 5 lakh reward announced for his arrest, Prayagraj Police recently confirmed his location and secured transit remand to bring him back for further investigation.
