Man wanted in rape case arrested from Gurgaon after 4 yrs
Jaipur: A man wanted for rape charges under the POCSO Act was arrested by the city police Thursday after being on the run for four years. The accused, Mohan Singh (27) was hiding in Gurgaon under a fake identity and working at a glass factory.
To track him down, police officers posed as labourers, scouring several factories in the area before finally locating and arresting him.
According to DCP (East) Tejaswini Gautam, Mohan Singh, a resident of Neem Ka Thana in Sikar, was initially arrested in 2019 after a case was filed against him at the Pratap Nagar police station. Although he was produced in court, he managed to escape and went underground. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and a reward of Rs 20,000 was later announced for any information leading to his capture.
The breakthrough came when police received a tip-off that he was hiding in the Delhi-Haryana region. A team from Jaipur began searching factories in Gurgaon, pretending to look for jobs. After five days of searching, they located his roommate, who provided key details about Singh's whereabouts.
Police said Singh assumed a new identity using his brother's Aadhaar card and took up work at the glass factory. He recently returned home due to an injury, and based on information from his roommate, the police conducted a raid and arrested him. The Pratap Nagar police are currently interrogating Singh.
