Fugitive Arrested After 35 Years on the Run
4 Oct
Summary
- A 68-year-old man was arrested after being a fugitive for 35 years.
- He was wanted for an abduction case that occurred in March 1991.
- The accused changed his name and worked in Delhi before his arrest.
A nearly 35-year fugitive, 68-year-old Nanhe Banjara alias Naseem, was apprehended on Saturday near Achra Crossing by Farrukhabad's Kayamganj police. He had been wanted since March 9, 1991, for his alleged involvement in an abduction case. The initial complaint was filed by Ujagar regarding the abduction of his wife, Hasina, who was later recovered by police.
Following the filing of a chargesheet on June 18, 1991, Nanhe Banjara secured bail but subsequently absconded. A special judge issued a permanent warrant for his arrest on October 28, 2022, prompting intensified police efforts. Investigations revealed he had lived in Shahjahanpur under a changed name and later worked at a nursery in Delhi.
While all other accused in the case were initially arrested and jailed, they were later granted bail. Nanhe Banjara, however, remained at large until his arrest near Achra Crossing, bringing a long chapter of evasion to a close.
