The Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) apprehended Rinku Sharma, alias 'Pandit', on Wednesday, accused of the 2020 murder of Prakash Singh Dhami, a councillor, amid a violent political rivalry in Udham Singh Nagar district.
Sharma, a seasoned shooter from Madhya Pradesh, evaded capture for years before being caught in Rudrapur following a coordinated operation by the STF and local police. His arrest links to a broader scheme of political tensions allegedly involving hired shooters from multiple states.
With Sharma's capture, authorities dismantle a critical element in a high-stakes turf war, marking a significant victory under 'Operation Prahar'. The initiative aims to curtail severe criminal activities by tracking fugitives with bounties. Sharma faces numerous charges, further amplifying his criminal profile.
