PATNA: In a major breakthrough, the Bihar Special Task Force (STF) has arrested notorious criminal Manoj Singh alias ‘Doctor’ and his son Manik Singh from Bengaluru, bringing an end to a long manhunt spanning several years.

The arrest of the father-son duo -- who have extensive criminal records in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha -- is being seen as a significant success for law enforcement agencies.

The duo had become a major challenge for the police due to their deep-rooted criminal network and repeated attempts to evade arrest.

Officials believe their apprehension will deal a decisive blow to organised crime operating across state borders.
