Shimla : Himachal Pradesh police have finally nabbed a man from the neighbouring state of Punjab, almost a decade after he had allegedly abducted and raped a local woman, the police said Thursday.
A team headed by head constable Ashwani Kumar arrested Baldev Raj — the main suspect in the gang rape — in Ludhiana Wednesday.
In 1998, the victim was kidnapped and taken to Chandigarh by a group of people, who allegedly raped her repeatedly. She managed to escape after ten days and reported the matter to the police here.
Though the other suspects were arrested then, Raj remained on the run.
A crime branch official said Raj’s family in his village in Himachal’s Bilaspur district told them he was working in a sweet shop in Punjab.
