A team of the special cell of Delhi police has arrested Sher Singh Rana from Kolkata and has brought him to Delhi for further questioning. Rana had escaped from the Tihar jail in 2004 in a dramatic manner leading to the suspension of the deputy jail superintendent and several others for dereliction of duty.
Rana is the principal accused in the murder of dacoit turned Parliamentarian Phoolan Devi. She was killed at the gate of her residence on July 25, 2001 when she was returning home from Parliament.
The matter was handed over to special cell of Delhi police for investigation. Rana's brother and one of his friends played a key role in the escape of the accused from Tihar jail. A fake jail transfer order was shown to the staff of Tihar jail and the accused and his accomplice sped away in a three wheeler.
