In a significant breakthrough, a wanted history-sheeter with a reward of Rs 50,000 on his head has been apprehended in Mumbai. The accused, Sabbir Alam Hasim Uddin Shaikh, aged 35, was arrested after a joint operation by the UP Special Task Force (STF) and Unit-11 of Kandivali Police.
History sheeter from UP, Sabbir Alam--a resident of Dehalbari, Kishanganj, Bihar--has seven criminal cases against him, including charges under the UP Gangster Act. His criminal record includes cases registered at Kotwali Nagar and Vijay Nagar police stations in Uttar Pradesh, said officials in their statement.

The officials further stated the operation was initiated after the UP STF received reliable information about UP's history-sheeter's presence in Lower Parel, Mumbai. Despite his continuous change of location, the team, led by Inspector Sachin Kumar and Unit-11 officers, tracked him down after a ten-hour manhunt that spanned areas such as Antop Hill, Dharavi, and finally, Shahu Nagar in Mahim East.
