Ex-Army Man Arrested After 33 Years for 1993 Truck Driver Murder in Old DelhiPreviousNext

Rajender Dagar, a former Indian Army recruit dismissed within a year, was arrested on June 1 after evading capture for 33 years. He is accused of murdering truck driver Ram Singh in Old Delhi in 1993 to steal a copper-loaded truck. Despite limited records and lack of modern investigative tools from that time, police tracked Dagar across multiple states, noting his frequent changes in identity and appearance during his long absence.
