The Yavatmal police have apprehended an infamous history-sheeter allegedly affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi and Binny Gujjar gangs, an official revealed on Saturday.
Identified as Bhupender Singh, alias Raghu or Bhinda, the suspect originates from Jalandhar, Punjab, and had been living clandestinely on Jamb Road in Yavatmal for the last two years, according to authorities.
Singh was on the run after being implicated in a 2023 murder case in Rajasthan's Barmer district. A reward of Rs 25,000 had been placed on his head. He was also convicted in an extortion case in Punjab and is currently linked to 16 criminal cases across Punjab and Rajasthan. Reports suggest Singh operated as a contract killer with financial backing from Saurabh Gujjar, an associate residing in the United States.
