A team of the Ambala special task force (STF) has arrested a convict who absconded while being on parole around 10 years ago.

The arrested person has been identified as Shispal of Nagla Sadan village under Radaur subdivision of Yamunanagar district. He was serving life imprisonment in a murder case.

As per the STF, Shispal was arrested from Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. He had been on the run for 10 years and carried a reward of Rs 25,000 on his head. To escape the police net, Shispal had changed his name to Mahender Singh.
