A notorious fugitive with a Rs 50,000 bounty on his head has been apprehended in Maharashtra's Palghar district. Rahimulla Ibrahim Ansari, 32, had been evading the Uttar Pradesh police for two years, according to local authorities.

Ansari, involved in multiple car break-ins and thefts alongside his gang members, faced concerted police action under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986. Despite witness reluctance, the police registered multiple cases against the gang in 2022.

After receiving a tip-off, the Special Task Force's Prayagraj unit discovered Ansari in Chinchoti village, near Vasai, and collaborated with local police to capture him on Wednesday. Ansari, previously named in 27 cases in Palghar district, has been handed over to UP police.
