Mon Dec 02 19:49:32 UTC 2024: ## Delhi Murder Suspect Apprehended in Punjab After Two-Year Manhunt
**NEW DELHI, December 3, 2024** – Delhi Police announced the arrest of Surjit Singh, 27, a murder suspect who had been on the run for nearly two years. Singh, along with an accomplice, is accused of fatally stabbing 29-year-old delivery executive Sagar Singh in June 2022 during a dispute over smoking. While his accomplice was apprehended shortly after the incident, Singh evaded capture by drastically altering his appearance and disguising himself as a Nihang, a member of the armed Sikh warrior order, before settling in Amritsar, Punjab.
A Delhi court had declared Singh a proclaimed offender. Following a weeks-long investigation that included tracing potential hideouts in Delhi and Punjab, Delhi Police located Singh in Madiaval village near Batala Bypass in Gurdaspur, Punjab. Information from confidential sources proved crucial in pinpointing his location after he had changed his appearance and sought refuge in Batala. A dedicated police team apprehended him last week. The arrest concludes a significant manhunt for the murder suspect.
