Authorities in Thailand have arrested a fugitive man convicted for his involvement in a bomb attack in 1995 that killed former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh and at least 15 other people, police said on Tuesday.
Gurmeet Singh, one of six Sikh militants convicted for the blast outside government headquarters in Punjab, fled a high-security prison in Chandigarh in 2004 before receiving a life sentence in 2007.
The bomb, planted in Singh’s bulletproof car, exploded and immediately killed the former chief minister and 12 of his staff and armed guards. Three others who were wounded died later.
