14 Aug
Summary
- Wanted Bawariya gang member Dhara Singh arrested in Bhiwani.
- Dhara Singh carried a combined reward of Rs 55,000.
- He was wanted in cases of dacoity, robbery, and theft.
A significant arrest was made by the Special Task Force (STF) in Gurgaon, with the apprehension of Dhara Singh, a wanted member of the Bawariya gang, in Bhiwani on Thursday night. Singh carried a combined reward totaling Rs 55,000 from the police forces of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. This elusive criminal had been evading law enforcement for an extended period, frequently changing his hideouts.
Cases including dacoity, robbery, theft, and illegal weapon offenses were registered against Dhara Singh across both states. Officials noted that the Bawariya gang, to which Singh belonged, was known for its armed members who would commit nighttime burglaries, holding residents hostage before fleeing with valuables. Following the deaths of two other gang members in encounters with UP Police, Dhara Singh remained a fugitive, continuing to evade capture until his arrest.
The STF had been actively tracking Singh for some time, utilizing technical surveillance, mobile location data, and intelligence gathering. Acting on a specific tip-off, STF operatives conducted a raid in Bhiwani, successfully surrounding and apprehending the wanted gangster. He was taken into custody and transferred to the police for further legal proceedings after preliminary questioning.
