Indore: One of the six inmates who had escaped from Punjab's Nabha jail and carried a reward of Rs 5 lakh was arrested along with another person, who is accused of heinous crimes in Punjab, from the city last night, a senior police officer said.
A group of gun-toting men in police uniforms stormed Punjab's Nabha Central Jail early on 27 November 2015 and freed two terrorists - including the head of Khalistan Liberation Force, terrorist Harminder Singh Mintoo - and four criminals.
"Kulpreet Singh Deol alias Neeta (the inmates who had escaped from the Nabha jail) and Sunil Kalra alias Shailla (a dreaded criminal in Punjab) were apprehended from Khajrana area in the city from a residential flat," DIG Harinarayanchari Mishra told PTI.
Punjab police have been informed of the arrest of the prisoner, the DIG said.
Six inmates-- Khalistan Liberation Front chief Harminder Singh Mintoo, Kashmeer Singh, Gurpreet Singh Shekhon, Vicky Gonder, Kulpreet Singh and Amandeep Singh- had escaped from the Nabha jail in November.
