(Madhya Pradesh): A history-sheeter with dozen of cases of theft, murder, and dacoity registered against him in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan was finally caught on Saturday.
Notorious criminal Bantu Gurjar was on the target of police forces from both states. The accused was carrying a total bounty of Rs 40k—Rs 30k was announced by the MP Police and Rs 10 by the Rajasthan Police. MP and Rajasthan, both, were closely monitoring him and planning to nab him.
Acting on a tip-off on Saturday, Rajasthan's Dholpur police swung into action and nabbed criminal Bantu Gurjar near Bhadwa Mata Temple at the MP-Rajasthan border. Morena police had been claiming to get close to the miscreants for four days, but had missed.
