The Satna police have nabbed a wanted criminal, Lallu Yadav, after 12 years on the run. The 10,000‑rupee reward suspect had been living in Delhi as a security guard, evading capture.
On a recent morning, officers from the Dharakundi Police Station in Satna seized Lallu Yadav, a criminal who had been on the run for over a decade. Yadav, who was listed as a 10,000‑rupee reward suspect, had been living in Delhi under the guise of a security guard.
The arrest followed a detailed investigation that traced Yadav’s movements after the original complaint was filed. He had relocated to Delhi with his family, taking up a job at a security firm to conceal his identity.
Police say Yadav was linked to the Babli and Lavlesh gangs, and his capture is a significant win for law enforcement in the region. The case is now under further scrutiny, and authorities are reviewing his alleged involvement in other crimes.
The incident underscores the challenges of tracking fugitives who change locations and identities. Satna police have pledged to continue their efforts to bring other wanted criminals to justice.
