New Delhi: A 27-year-old notorious criminal from Bihar and his associate were arrested by the police here from north Delhi, an officer said on Friday.
The accused, Chandan Ram, facing about two dozen cases of murder, extortion and land grabbing in Bihar, was arrested Thursday night by a team of Delhi Police's Special Cell, the officer said.
When police confronted Chandan, he and his associate Sundar opened fire at them, but were promptly overpowered, he said.
The officer said Chandan carries a reward of Rs 50,000 on information leading to his arrest, announced by Bihar's Motihari Police. Sundar was found involved in at least three criminal cases in Bihar, he said.
