Bhagalpur (Bihar), Jan 24 (PTI) Bihar Police on Saturday arrested a criminal carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 from Nagaland in connection with an extortion case, officials said.
The accused, Rahul Yadav, an active member of the Chhotu Yadav gang and a resident of Latra village within Gopalpur police station limts in Bhagalpur district, was apprehended from Dimapur.
