A former Indian Air Force constable, who was facing trial for the alleged murders of his wife and children, was arrested by the Bengaluru police after being on the run for 11 years. The criminal Dharam Singh Yadav was arrested in Assam and brought back to the city.
Back in 2008, Dharam Singh Yadav of Haryana was married and lived in Vidyaranpura, Bengaluru with his wife Anu and two children, eight-year-old Shubham and 14-year-old Kirti. He was in the Air Force from 1987 to 2007. He worked at several airports from 1987 to 1997.
Despite being married, he used to scan matrimonial sites and befriend a woman from Rajajinagar. Unaware that Yadav was married, the woman remained in a relationship with him. On 19 October 2008, Yadav allegedly killed his wife and two children with sticks after seeing his wife and children as a hindrance.
He initially tried to mislead the police by saying that it was a theft-cum-murder, but a detailed investigation led to his arrest.
After spending two years in Bangalore’s Parappana Agrahara Jail, Yadav complained of bladder problems and was taken to Victoria Hospital for treatment. But he already had an escape plan as he stole some chili powder from the prison canteen.
On December 4, 2010, he sprinkled chilli powder in the eyes of policemen being taken to the hospital and escaped with handcuffs. The police could not find him and Yadav went off the radar.
After DCP (South) Harish Pandey formed a special team to track down criminals, especially those who had escaped from police custody, the police came to know that Yadav was running a liquor shop in Haryana’s Ateli Mandi. Was. Liquor shop is registered in someone else’s name.
After questioning around, the police came to know that Yadav had shifted to Assam. While in Haryana, he continued to check matrimonial sites and met a woman from Assam online. He moved there, married her and was living with her at Nelly. He has two sons from this marriage.
“Assam Police helped us a lot in identifying and arresting him. We traced him to Rewari in Haryana from an address that was on our records. He was abandoned by his family after killing his wife and children. A little digging led us to the culprit,” Pandey said.
