After a 32‑year search, Delhi Police have arrested a suspect wanted for a double murder.
Delhi police announced today that they have taken into custody a man wanted for a double homicide, ending a pursuit that stretched over three decades. The arrest was carried out in the national capital, though the exact location has not been disclosed for operational reasons.
The suspect had been listed as a fugitive since the murders were committed more than 30 years ago, and remained at large despite multiple investigative leads. Authorities said the breakthrough came after renewed intelligence inputs and coordinated field work.
Senior police officials confirmed that the detainee will be produced before a magistrate within the stipulated 24‑hour period, and that the case file will be handed over to the Crime Branch for further prosecution. The department praised the persistence of its investigators and urged the public to report any information related to cold‑case investigations.
