ITANAGAR, May 13 � In a major breakthrough, Arunachal Pradesh Police arrested the prime accused involved in the robbery of Arunachal Pradesh Rural Bank here and recovered three country-made pistols and 33 rounds of live ammunition, the police said today.
A police team arrested Gichik Tachung, the prime accused from Songlo-3 village, near here during a raid on Tuesday night. 28-year-old Tachung hails from Lengdik village under Tali Circle of Kra-Daadi district, police said.
Armed robbers on December 5, 2013 committed a robbery in the Ganga branch of the bank. While two robbers, Tapo Marde and Hiba Tajuk were arrested, the prime accuse was absconding since then.
The police, however, continued the search for nearly two years and finally nabbed the culprit, they said. � PTI
