Murder accused, who had jumped bail, nabbed after nine years

The Cuddalore New Town police arrested a 38-year-old murder accused, who had been absconding for nearly nine years.

According to the police, Arularasu, 48, a hotelier in Pudupalayam near Cuddalore, was murdered in 2014. The New Town Police registered a case, arrested Ganesh, of Devanampattinam, for his alleged involvement in the crime, and remanded him in judicial custody.

However, police said that Ganesh went into hiding a few months later after being released on bail. Following this, a non-bailable warrant (NBW) was issued against Ganesh. Cuddalore Superintendent of Police R. Rajaram constituted a special team to trace him.

Based on a tip-off, the police nabbed Ganesh in Nagari, in Andhra Pradesh. He was produced before a local court and remanded in custody.
