Delhi Police Arrests Haryana Cop Murder Accused After 28 Years on the Run
Rajinder Bairagi, wanted for the 1998 murder of a Haryana Police constable and multiple attempted murder cases, was arrested by Delhi Police after evading capture for 28 years. He escaped police custody in 1999 and assumed a false identity in Madhya Pradesh, working as a teacher and unregistered medical practitioner known as 'Dr Jhatka.' The arrest followed a multi-state operation by the Delhi Police Crime Branch targeting long-absconding proclaimed offenders involved in serious crimes in Delhi and Haryana.
