NEW DELHI: Barely 15 hours after armed men had stormed the Nabha jail in Punjab to free Khalistan Liberation Force chief Harminder Singh Mintoo, the terrorist was re-arrested from the capital's Nizamuddin railway station on Monday, from where he had planned to board a train to Mumbai.
Mintoo's calls to relatives in West Delhi's Subhash Nagar, who were under surveillance, helped cops trace the KLF chief. He also visited the relatives in the city, after which cops started to tail him. He was finally positively identified at Nizamuddin.
Police said Mintoo and fellow escapee Kashmir Singh reached Delhi after changing several vehicles and changing their appearance by trimming their beards. After escaping from the Nabha jail, Mintoo had boarded a Toyota Fortuner along with Singh and Gurpreet Singh Sekhon. Sekhon's brother Mani had arranged for the car and drove the fugitives from Nabha jail to sugarcane fields near Kaithal. There, Mintoo and Singh got off. They were given a pistol along with six rounds each, and Rs 19,000 for their journey to Mumbai. Mintoo had also established contact with some of his family members in Goa to arrange money to travel abroad.
