Delhi Serial Killer Chanderkant Jha Arrested After 15 Months on the Run

The 'Butcher of Delhi,' convicted of gruesome murders, was apprehended while attempting to flee to Bihar after skipping parole in 2023.

Chanderkant Jha, known as the 'Butcher of Delhi,' was arrested at Old Delhi Railway Station after evading capture for over a year.
Jha, convicted of three murders and infamous for dismembering victims, had been serving a life sentence without remission since 2016.
He absconded in October 2023 after being granted a 90-day parole, during which he failed to return to prison.
Police tracked him through extensive surveillance, call data analysis, and interrogations of his network across multiple states, leading to his capture on January 17, 2025.
Jha's case gained renewed attention due to the Netflix docuseries 'Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi,' which chronicled his crimes and the investigation.
