New Delhi, May 26
Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested a man convicted of multiple murders who was on the run for 15 years after jumping parole,
Tomar, now 45, from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, where he was living with his wife under a false identity.
As per the police, in 2001, Dhirender Singh Tomar, then a 19-year-old, was leading a gang of criminals who hired taxis in Uttarakhand and NCR, killed the drivers, and then stole the vehicles to sell them across the border in Nepal.
Tomar had been on the run since 2010 after he got out of jail on a month-long parole. He had been in and out of prison since March 2001.
DCP (Crime) Harsh Indora stated that during the investigation of the 2001 case, the man who survived said four people attacked him during a taxi ride from Jaipur to Delhi. Two accused persons, Tomar and Dilip Negi, were arrested while the other two, Ajay and Dheeraj, were declared proclaimed offenders. The gang’s modus operandi was to hire taxis from different locations, murder the drivers, rob the vehicles, and subsequently sell them in Nepal.
Similar cases were lodged against him in Almora, Haldwani, and Lohaghat in Uttarakhand.
