Gayatri Prajapati, the absconding Samajwadi Party leader accused of rape, was arrested in Lucknow by UP Police early on Wednesday morning.
DGP Javeed Ahmed confirmed the arrest. During preliminary questioning, Prajapati told the police that he had been on the run since February 27 and spent his time in West Bengal and some southern states.
After being produced before the POCSO Court, Prajapati was sent to 14-day judicial remand.
In a major breakthrough, three of Prajapati's accomplices were arrested from Lucknow on Tuesday.
Police questioned Prajapati's sons for clues regarding the whereabouts of their absconding father. They revealed information about some people who were in touch with Prajapati, which helped the investigators zero in on him.
Police were also set to move court on Wednesday to seek permission to attach his properties.
Last week, a Special Task Force had nabbed two more accomplices from Noida in connection to this case.
