New Delhi, Dec 11 (PTI) The Delhi Police has arrested a 45-year-old man who had been absconding in three cases, including an NDPS, a robbery and an attempt-to-murder, an official said on Thursday.

The accused, identified as Deen Bandhu, was also wanted in a case of assault and firing on police personnel in Delhi's Civil Lines, for which non-bailable warrants had been issued. He had jumped interim bail in a 2022 robbery case, the officer said.
