A 44-year-old alleged inter-state temple theft kingpin, Mohit Sharma alias Mama, has been arrested by the Delhi Police.
Sharma, who was declared a proclaimed offender by a Punjab court, was wanted in multiple cases registered in Punjab, Kerala, and Karnataka.
According to the police, Sharma constantly changed hideouts and travelled across states while maintaining minimal local contacts to evade arrest.
He primarily targeted silver idols, donation boxes, religious ornaments, and other valuables kept inside temple premises.
Sharma was apprehended after officers of the crime branch received a tip-off about his movement in Delhi.
