AHMEDABAD: The special operation group (SOG) of city crime branch on Monday nabbed

Pintoo Chhara

, a resident of

massacre case and were sentenced to life terms — had jumped parole and were absconding for about a month.

On Sunday, SOG had nabbed

Prakash Chhara

, another convict in the same case who had jumped bail. One more Naroda Patiya convict, Shashikant Kadam, is absconding after he secured parole in June 2017.

According to assistant commissioner of police, (SOG), B C Solanki, a team of PSI V H Jadeja and M K Zala, received a tip-off. They first arrested Pintoo Chara from

Krishnanagar

vegetable market and then nabbed Barge from near Saijpur Bogha.

“While Pintoo had got parole in May 2017, Dinesh was released from Sabarmati Central Jail on parole in June 2017. Both did not return when their parole period ended and were absconding,” added ACP Solanki.

A total of four convicts in the Naroda Patia case did not return to jail authorities after they got parole. While three have been nabbed now, police are hunting for Shashikant Kadam.
