00:00I just say I'm Charles

00:02You say who's Charles? Are you crazy?

00:04Don't forget I'm same gender

00:061471

00:30Near the Taj for 5-6 days

00:38And fortunately for us

00:4011th November

00:42This month only

00:44He was coming with a suit and walking

00:46And we had taken a taxi in Cognito

00:48To SRV

00:50I went and found someone

00:52He was trying to take off the revolver

00:54He had a revolver

00:56He was a black belt

00:58He would not speak anything

01:00And then

01:02We searched him

01:04And we found

01:06Receipts of 3 different hotels where he had kept his associates

01:08Those 3 associates

01:10And we caught about 5 rifles

01:126-7 revolvers

01:14Smoke bombs

01:16Big big arsenal

01:18Big news those days

01:20But before that what he had done was

01:22He had committed robbery in Ashoka hotel in Delhi

01:24And from there

01:26He had escaped

01:28So he was wanted in that case

01:30When Delhi police came to know that he is arrested

01:32They immediately came and took him away

01:34So I was given a reward of 1500 rupees

01:36Those days by the commissioner

01:46Blackout started

01:48And in that blackout

01:50He took advantage, he got admitted in hospital

01:52And escaped

01:56I was called in court

01:58For giving evidence against him

02:00For his arrest

02:02So when I went

02:04I was in CID

02:06I went in plain clothes with my wife

02:08So when I went to the court

02:10By this time he had already committed

02:12More than 40 murders

02:14He was the most dangerous criminal

02:16So he was escorted by a platoon

02:18Of 30 people

02:20With 3 inspectors, 10 guns and all that

02:22So while he was escorted

02:24While he was being brought to court

02:26I got a big voice

02:28What was the need of such a big escort

02:30For a useless man

02:32So some Punjabi was standing by my side

02:34Do you know who he is?

02:36Yes I know him, he is Sobhraj

02:38I was the one who caught him

02:40He thought he was bitten by a mad dog

02:42So then I was called inside

02:44For giving evidence

02:46After my evidence

02:48By that time people asked my wife

02:50What did he say, who is he?

02:52She said he is the inspector who caught him

02:54She told the story

02:56When I came out

02:58They all surrounded me

03:00Sir how did you catch him?

03:14That time

03:16Afternoon Courier published my photo

03:18And all those old photographs

03:20We have an inspector who knows Sobhraj

03:22DGP has about more than

03:248000 inspectors under him

03:26He would not know who has done what work

03:28Because of this newspaper

03:30He knew that there is one inspector

03:32So as soon as he

03:34He said call Jaindya

03:36So 9 o'clock morning I got message

03:38Go and see DG

03:40We never see DG in our life, he is a very big officer

03:42I was afraid, why is DG calling me?

03:44I went to him and then I explained

03:46How I had arrested him

03:48I told him that he is a very

03:50Bizarre man

03:52He never cares about police

03:54Even though he knew that police

03:56Likely to come

03:58He came to

04:00Rob Jaindya building

04:10And in Goa

04:12We first went to

04:14Telephones, we have to go to CTO

04:16CTO for booking call

04:18So there Mr. Manager told me

04:20Sir, no one comes here

04:22There is a hotel there, we have a staff connection

04:24You get direct line

04:26So mostly foreigners go there, you try there

04:28One commissioner with only 2 officers

04:30Send some help

04:32So he immediately sent 2 vehicles and 5-6 officers

04:3410.30 that

04:36Hindustan-Pakistan match was going on

04:38All my colleagues were sitting

04:40I saw 2 people getting down from a taxi

04:42With black caps

04:44White caps, why they are wearing 10.30

04:46I started looking from his gate

04:48I realized this is Subrao

04:50I immediately sat down just

04:52Table before him, behind him

04:54Because he is looking very sharp

04:56So I wrote down a piece of paper

04:58And called that waiter

05:00Told him, there is another officer

05:02He was supposed to be there

05:04First time I told him we are police team

05:06Police team gives him this message

05:082 should go out and catch the driver

05:102 should go in the veranda

05:12And accordingly

05:14He gave a message to officers

05:16The officers who went to inquire

05:18With the driver, he has

05:20Personal

05:22Loyalty for the customer

05:24He thought why they are inquiring

05:26He wanted to come and tell

05:28So as I saw him coming

05:30I said there is no time investing

05:32I went and found someone

05:34I just said Charles

05:36He said who is Charles, are you crazy

05:38He said don't forget I am same GND

05:40But still he tried to pick up his revolver

05:42But the other officer removed

05:44We didn't have

05:46All the handcuffs

05:48But I took all the

05:50Strings and all

05:52And tied him down like a

05:54Bedding, put him in a taxi

05:56And I remembered that

05:58From here I can telephone

06:00Anywhere in world

06:02I phoned my commissioner

06:04He was so, are you sure

06:06I said no not 100%, 1000%

06:08He said now you don't wait there

06:10Don't tell anybody, you straight away come

06:12So 10 hours we travelled

06:14And we came to Mumbai

06:16By that time news had come out

06:18A special plane had come from

06:20Delhi to take him
