Sandeep Krishnan, 55, was taken into custody following a coordinated operation that tracked him down to Bihar, ending nearly 28 years of evasion. The arrest was executed by a specially constituted GRP team on October 18, bringing closure to a long-standing criminal case from Maharashtra's Thane district.
The accused had remained at large since allegedly committing the murder, evading law enforcement authorities across multiple states. His eventual capture represents a significant breakthrough for investigators who had maintained active surveillance and investigative efforts over the years.
Krishnan is now in police custody and faces charges related to the homicide. Authorities are expected to conduct detailed interrogation to establish the complete circumstances surrounding the crime and any potential accomplices. The case underscores the persistent nature of criminal investigations in India, where fugitives can sometimes evade capture for extended periods.
The GRP's successful apprehension marks a significant development in the ongoing pursuit of justice for the victim's family. Officials have indicated that further legal proceedings will follow as per standard criminal procedure.
