Ahmedabad: A Rajasthan-based gangster, wanted in more than 30 cases including murder and jailbreak, has been arrested by the Gujarat Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) here, officials said on Wednesday. Acting on a tip-off, an ATS team laid a trap at Hirawadi crossroads in the city on Monday evening and nabbed Arvind Singh Bika, a native of Gulabgunj village in Sirohi district of Rajasthan, an official release said.
Bika was on the run after escaping from prison in Deesa town in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district in 2017. Two pistols, a country-made gun and five live cartridges were seized from his possession, it added. A fresh case under the Arms Act was registered against Bika who is wanted in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Kerala in 35 criminal cases, the ATS release said.
His gang, consisting of around 15 persons, was involved in serious crimes like murder, loot, theft, extortion, jail-break and firing on police to free gang members, it said. Bika was also fond of posting threatening videos and photos on social media where he posed with weapons, it added.
