Meerut, Uttar Pradesh – In a significant breakthrough, the Brahmpuri police, in collaboration with the Special Operations Group (SOG), apprehended notorious criminal Vinay Tyagi, alias Tinku, on Tuesday.

With 58 cases of murder, kidnapping, and robbery registered against him, he has been a key target for the police. The Meerut police had announced a reward of ₹50,000 for information leading to his capture.
Escape and Return: According to the police, Vinay Tyagi fled India for Dubai amidst ongoing gang disputes and legal troubles. Despite his attempt to escape justice, the police maintained surveillance and continued their search. Tyagi’s return to India triggered immediate police action, leading to his swift capture.

Gang Affiliations: Tyagi’s criminal activities were not limited to his solo endeavors. He was closely associated with the Badan Singh Baddo and Bhupendra Bafar gangs, both notorious for their involvement in organized crime.
