MUMBAI: A notorious criminal from Gondia, who fled when police started looking for him and landed here, was arrested by Bhandup police on Tuesday.
Vijaykumar Dubey alias Raju (51) has more than 12 serious cases, including murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping and extortion, against him.
Sub-inspector Ravindra Rane and staff were patrolling Khadimachine in Bhandup (W) when they found Dubey. “Seeing policemen, he ran, which raised suspicion, so he was chased and caught.
He was taken to the police station for questioning.’’ said deputy commissioner of police (zone VII) Prashant Kadam.
He told police he was from Gondia and had come for work but when police called up their counterparts in Gondia, they learned he was a hardened criminal on the run.
Gondia police said he had threatened a businessman on October 10. “He was given life sentence for the murder of a cop in Gondia in 1997. He was released in 2017 but continues to indulge in crime,’’ said senior inspector Shyam Shinde.
