The accused has cases of rape, attempt to murder, threat to life and arms act registered against him.
The police said that on Tuesday the team received a credible information that Amarjeet was in Vijay Vihar and had come to meet his family. On the basis of the tip-off, ASI Neeraj immediately swung into action and along with a woman SI and constable left for the location mentioned.
As the team reached the spot, they noticed Amarjeet roaming freely on the street. The team ran towards him and nabbed him.
