Dismissed AIG Rajjit Singh Surrenders to Patiala Police After Six Years on the Run

Patiala police confirmed that former Assistant Inspector General Rajjit Singh surrendered voluntarily today, ending a six-year period during which he had avoided law enforcement. Singh, who had been dismissed from the police service, was listed as a wanted person in connection with his disappearance.
The police said Singh approached the Patiala police station and handed himself over without incident. He was immediately placed under custody and his identity was verified before formal procedures began.
Authorities indicated that a detailed investigation will follow to determine the circumstances of his dismissal and the reasons for his prolonged evasion. Legal proceedings are expected to commence in accordance with applicable criminal law.
The case highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in tracking former officials who go into hiding, and underscores the importance of due process once a suspect surrenders.
