MP, 18 Feb 2025, Siliguri: The accused who fled from Siliguri Court has been re-arrested from Panitanki area near the India-Nepal border on Sunday night.
The accused has been identified as Vikas Karki; he had escaped from police custody on Saturday when he was taken to court for production. Vikas was initially arrested by Kharibari police for causing a disturbance while intoxicated.
He along with other seven people were brought to Court on Saturday for production. However, after being brought to court, he managed to escape from there. Following his escape, the police launched a search operation.
