The full story

Police stated that the arrested man was one of the main suspects and allegedly took part in strangling one of the victims, later receiving a share of the stolen property. While three co-accused were arrested during the initial investigation, the man remained on the run and was declared a proclaimed offender in October 1995.

Investigators traced the suspect to a factory in Mangolpuri Phase-II, where he was reportedly working as a packaging labourer under a false identity. His identity was ultimately confirmed through an Aadhaar card, leading to his arrest by the local police unit and notification of the Shakarpur police station.
