Mumbai: A notorious gangster wanted in multiple cases in Jammu and Kashmir was arrested from Worli in central Mumbai on Tuesday, officials said.
Acting on intelligence from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Royal Singh was apprehended Tuesday morning. Authorities said he had been evading arrest in Mumbai for several days and faces charges including murder, extortion, and narcotics smuggling.
A Jammu police team has been dispatched to Mumbai to take Singh into custody. He had been absconding since a case was registered against him under the Arms Act.
Singh’s name has surfaced in the murder of gangster Rajesh Dogra, prompting a case in Mohali, officials added. He was also implicated in the 2009 killing of the son of former MLC Amandeep Singh.
