A 31-year-old man from the indian state of bihar named Chanderkant Jha was arrested in 1998 for the murder of a man in Delhi. Due to a lack of proof, he was freed from prison in 2002. He began a terrifying string of killings in delhi shortly after the publication.
 
Chanderkant Jha murdered and dismembered eighteen persons in West delhi in 2002. Shekar and Umesh in 2003, Guddu in 2005, amit in 2006, and Upender and Dalip in 2007 were among his victims. Most of his victims were laborers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Before making them his targets, Jha used to become friends with them and assist them land minor employment.

Later, Jha would start arguing with them about little issues like lying or not being vegetarian, and then strangle them to death. The case chilled delhi residents to their bones.
 
He received a death sentence in february 2013. The conviction was modified to life in prison in january 2016.
 
He was set to return to prison in october 2023 after being released on a 90-day parole, but he had other ideas, so he vanished.
 
The delhi police apprehended him on Friday, january 17, following a manhunt that lasted more than a year.
 
"A prize of ₹50,000 was carried by Chandkant Jha. They've found him... He was taken into custody at the delhi train station following months of planning and monitoring, according to Deputy Commissioner of police (Crime Branch) Sanjay Sen.
 
After conducting a thorough investigation of the vegetable mandis (markets) in Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and bihar, where Jha had previously worked, as well as questioning people and going to the locations of his prior crimes, the police squad took him into custody.
 
He was trying to escape to bihar when he was apprehended at the Old delhi Railway Station.

According to police, Jha would punish his victims by tying their hands and then strangling them with a local nunchaku. He later sliced the bodies into bits, making sure there was as little blood splash as possible. He would place the parts in a plastic bag, transport them in his rickshaw that had been modified, and then toss them at a designated spot, generally close to Tihar Jail.
