The Delhi Police on Thursday claimed to have arrested a man who had evaded capture for a span of five years. This individual is believed to be responsible for a homicide that occurred in Lajpat Nagar, situated in the southeastern part of Delhi.

The arrested individual has been identified as Chintu, a resident of Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. The authorities explained that despite the issuance of a warrant for his arrest following the initiation of the case, he managed to elude capture and was subsequently classified as a fugitive at large.

The incident in question took place on August 21, 2018, when an unidentified individual was discovered deceased beneath the Moolchand flyover.

The victim was identified as Dhani Ram, with a distinctive tattoo aiding in the identification process. Subsequently, the Lajpat Nagar police station registered a case of murder.

In the course of the investigation, it was determined that Chintu and his associate Dilip had engaged in an altercation with Dhani Ram while engaging in card games and drug use beneath the Moolchand flyover, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Singh Yadav said.

Tragically, under the influence of narcotics, the confrontation escalated to violence resulting in the death of Dhani Ram, he said, adding that following the crime, both Chintu and Dilip fled the area and sought refuge in Rajasthan, successfully evading law enforcement.

Acting on a tip regarding Chintu’s potential presence near Bhogal, Hajrat Nizamuddin, the police orchestrated an operation to apprehend the suspect. The operation culminated in the successful capture of Chintu, confirming his involvement in the crime.

It has been ascertained that Chintu, characterised as a transient individual, grappled with drug addiction and had established a makeshift residence beneath the flyover where the unfortunate incident occurred, police said.
