NEW DELHI:The Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested Jai Ram Singh (47), a life convict who absconded after being granted parole in 2021. Singh, convicted in 2004 for raping a six-year-old girl, failed to surrender after a 90-day parole, prompting police action.
A special team, led by Inspector Pawan Kumar and supervised by ACP Ramesh Chander Lamba, worked for over a month to locate him. Acting on intelligence, officers apprehended Singh at a house in his Delhi village on January 6.
Singh admitted to evading arrest and had adopted a low-profile lifestyle as an e-rickshaw driver.
The Crime Branch’s efforts highlight their resolve to ensure justice in serious cases. Singh is now in custody and faces legal proceedings.
