PATNA: A 40-year-old software professional, Avinash Kumar Srivastava, a self-described “psycho killer” who has 22 murder cases against him, was arrested from Vaishali on Friday.
Avinash, who reportedly used to work in Delhi for a Bangalore-based IT giant, landed in the police dragnet for allegedly plotting the killing of two people in the district and possession of drugs. A special team of the district intelligence unit arrested him from the Mahnar police station area.
Vaishali SP Manish confirmed the arrest. “Avinash, a professional hitman and an accomplice, were apprehended in a case related to the NDPS Act. But no illegal weapon was recovered,” he said.
