After nearly two years of relentless pursuit to nab the prime accused in the murder of Intelligence Bureau personnel Ankit Sharma during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots, the Delhi Police has arrested the 34-year-old fugitive Mohammad Muntajim, a resident of Chand Bagh area in the National Capital.
Mohammad — who was declared a proclaimed offender on January 5, 2021, carried an award of `5000 — was arrested from Meerpet in Telangana. He is also facing charges in five cases, including attempt to murder and criminal intimation.
According to the post-mortem report, Ankit Sharma was stabbed 52 times by sharp-edged weapons. His body was later fished out from a nearby nullah.
