Lajar Masih was reportedly arrested by the Punjab Police a few months ago. However, in September 2024, he escaped from police custody, prompting an extensive search by Punjab Police. Multiple raids were conducted across several states, but he remained elusive.

Meanwhile, intelligence reports indicated that he was hiding in Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambi district. Acting on this information, Punjab Police and the UP STF conducted a joint raid and successfully arrested him.
