The SP said that Bihar police was keeping a watch over Thakur’s house. “The police got a tip-off that Akshay has come home and nabbed him from there,” Kumar said.

He said Thakur, the son of a marginal farmer Saryu Singh, would be produced in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate for transit remand to Delhi.

The accused, a matriculate from Tandwa government school, had left village for Chhattisgarh for work and had gone to Delhi last year for livelihood.

The joint team of Delhi Police and Bihar Police had detained his father and younger brother Abhay Singh on Wednesday and put them to rigorous questioning about the absconder. They were, however, let off later.
