‘Mastermind’ of Jhumka jailbreak nabbed in India
Indian police on Sunday arrested notorious criminal Dhirendra Yadav from Kataiya in Supaul district, Bihar, India. Yadav is the “mastermind” of the 2012 jailbreak at the Jhumka-based Eastern Regional Prison in Sunsari.
DSP at Birpur of Supaul district in Bihar, Manoj Kumar Ram, said Dhirendra was nabbed along with his four accomplices from Birpur at around 3am. Four of his aides, according to Ram, are not those who escaped from the Jhumka prison.
Twelve inmates at the Eastern Regional Prison doing their time under various criminal charges had burrowed their way out, digging a 30-meter tunnel on November 8, 2012. Police in Nepal said Dhirendra masterminded the incident. Bangladeshi national Subrata Bain and notorious Indian criminal Bambam Yadav also fled in the jailbreak.
Dhirendra, who hails from Supaul district in Bihar, was doing his time on the charge of murdering Bikram Prasad Shah, the then manager of Rajbiraj branch office of Agriculture Development Bank in 2008. He was also charged of acquiring a Nepali citizenship certificate from Sunsari and Saptari districts along with multiple cases of abductions, extortions and murders.
Also known as ‘Mukhiyaji’, Dhirendra was the most wanted in both Nepal and India for his involvement in numerous criminal activities in the two countries.
Police said Dhirendra and his group had been extorting businesspersons in Morang, Sunsari and Saptari districts after he escaped from the prison.
