Man Arrested After 27 Years for 1999 Killing of Agra Police Officers

Analysed 19 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Agra, India·Crime
Man Arrested After 27 Years for 1999 Killing of Agra Police OfficersPreviousNext

Bhura, the prime accused in the 1999 killing of two police personnel during a robbery in Agra, was arrested in Bhopal after nearly 27 years on the run. To evade capture, he lived under a fake identity, changed his name to Jameel, got himself declared dead in official records, and avoided contact with family. His arrest followed a tip-off from a former associate and police surveillance, ending a long-standing manhunt across Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
