At first sight he appears to be a fragile and harmless man. But 40-year-old Baldev Singh, a bicycle mechanic, has turned out to be India’s most wanted criminal, having allegedly murdered over 100 people over 15 years.
The fact came to light when the city police caught and questioned him yesterday. Baldev Singh, who belongs to Ludhiana district, confessed to having committed several murders. During interrogation, the list of murder cases began to swell. The number of murders committed by him along with his accomplice soon reached eight. Police sources said the officials crosschecked Baldev’s picture with the crime record of most wanted criminals in the country and were shocked to learn that he was behind 105 killings.
