New Delhi, Feb 26 (IANS) A notorious criminal whose dramatic escape from a train led to a railway accident that killed 22 people has been arrested, police said Friday.

Munna alias Sajid, wanted by the police to stand trial in 40 cases of dacoity, robbery and murder, was caught by Delhi Police Crime Branch Thursday from Seemapuri area in the city's northeast.

According to Additional Commissioner of Police Neeraj Thakur, Munna was being escorted by the Rajasthan police from Kota to Delhi in October last year.
