Krishan, a former Rashtriya Janata Dal MP from Barh, is the main accused in the murder of Satyendra Singh, a transporter, who was killed on May 24.
The former MP, who had been absconding, was arrested from a relative’s house in Sector-30 in Faridabad.
A joint team of Bihar Police and the Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested him following a tip-off.
“An input was received from Bihar Police that Vijay Krishan, wanted in a murder case in Patna is hiding somewhere in Delhi,” said Alok Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell.
Subsequently, sources were deployed and surveillance mounted. In the meantime, a team of officers of Bihar Police joined the Special Cell team.
“On interrogation he confessed to his involvement in the murder of Singh,” Kumar said.
