Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Bhopal crime branch on Friday claimed to have arrested a man who had fled from jail two years ago. The officials said that the man identified as Lakshman Singh (32), was awarded one year imprisonment in November 2020 in a cheque bounce case. He had escaped from jail in 2021.
