A former national-level wrestler, Sonu Langada, has been arrested by the Delhi Police on charges of arms dealing after remaining a fugitive for nearly eight years, authorities announced Saturday.
Langada, known locally as Pahalwan, was apprehended on May 29 in his home village of Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, following his designation as a proclaimed offender in 2017 for arms supply allegations.
With a criminal record comprising serious offenses like murder and kidnapping, Langada turned to crime after a road accident led to his leg amputation, forcing him into illicit trades to support his family.
