A fugitive eluding Palamu police for over 14 months was finally caught on April 11 on the Japla Chhaterpur road by a team of Hussainabad police. Yadav had escaped on 11th of the month of January 2016 and was caught again on 11th of April 2017!
Sources said the fugitive Surender Yadav of paharee mohalla ( south) is an accused of SBI cash loot which took place on January 11, 2016 wherein SBI cash worth 1,97,000 was looted.
Yadav fled from police custody the same night January 11, 2016 and since then was evading arrest. Yadav’s run away from police custody had created a big furore then in Palamu which had led to the suspension of two cops there also.
Yadav had fled with hand cuff and police rope.
He went to Bihar’s Nabi Nagar where he got his hand cuff broken and he then destroyed the police rope.
SP Palamu Indrajeet Mahatha has confirmed this arrest of Yadav saying the bank cash loot was arrested on a tip off given by a common man to local police in Japla. He said ‘ If a common man passes on such vital information that comes true then it means police have come closer to public by feet not by inches’.
Yadav has cases of bank loot and Arms Act.
Police said in this SBI cash loot 4 are now behind the bars. There is no recovery of any cash at all.
Mahatha said one more fugitive accused Rajesh Nayak is living in Banares in the guise of a sadhu there.
This SBI cash loot has strange names of accused like this one the mastermind Dilip Sharma alias Mukhiya alias Dhoni. ‘Dhoni’ was planning to leave India for some Gulf country when police got him.
Yadav fugitive is the second one to be caught in just a week’s time. Before Yadav it was Perwez Alam who had fled from the prison ward in the sadar hospital in Daltonganj.
