Most-wanted gangster Vikram Gurjar alias Papla -- who was on the run ever since his daring filmy-style escape from police custody around 17 months ago -- could not escape the long arm of law as he was arrested on Thursday by Rajasthan police along with his 'girlfriend' from Kolhapur in Maharashtra.

The manner in which his capture was planned and executed was equally pulsating as was his dramatic escape from Behror police station lockup in September 2019 in true Bollywood style when his gang fired indiscriminately with modern weapons, including AK-47 assault rifles, to free him and whisk him away.
