Earlier in the day, in a separate incident, the Anti-Robbery Squad Cell (ARSC) and Crime Branch of Delhi Police apprehended a notorious kidnapper and proclaimed offender who had been evading the law for an astonishing 25 years.
The accused, Suneet Agarwal alias Pappi alias Babli, a mastermind of kidnapping and extortion, had seemingly vanished into thin air, only to be tracked down by the relentless efforts of the Delhi Police team.
The 46-year-old fugitive kidnapper was apprehended in connection with the case of abduction and was wanted in the case for the last 25 years (since 2000).
The accused had built a new identity for himself, settling into Mumbai's crowd and blending in seamlessly. However, the police team remained undeterred, using their expertise to stay one step ahead.
