Police in Bihar's Jamui district have arrested Ganori Yadav, who has been evading capture since 2003 when he allegedly murdered two brothers in Pratappur village. The arrest marks a significant breakthrough in a cold case that had remained unsolved for two decades.
Yadav was apprehended during an investigation into a separate matter, leading investigators to the long-outstanding murder charge. The circumstances of his arrest while being probed in connection with another case proved instrumental in locating the fugitive suspect.
The arrest comes as a relief to investigators who had pursued the case unsuccessfully for years. Authorities are now focusing on gathering additional evidence and conducting interrogations to establish the complete details surrounding the 2003 murders.
The case highlights the persistent nature of criminal investigations in the region, where law enforcement agencies continue to pursue leads across extended periods. Ganori Yadav is currently in police custody, and the investigation into the murders is expected to proceed with renewed momentum.
