A 23-year-old reward-carrying murder accused was arrested in Gujarat after being on the run for nearly three years, police said on Saturday.
Atonu Halder, alias Atul Halder, who carried a Rs 50,000 reward for information leading to his capture, was apprehended from Gujarat’s Gandhinagar.
Police said the case dates back to September 2023, when seven to eight individuals armed with sticks, knives and other sharp weapons attacked a person near his house in southwest Delhi.
The injured man was taken to a hospital, where he succumbed during treatment.
While six of the alleged assailants were arrested earlier, Halder remained at large, eventually being declared a proclaimed offender.
At the time of his arrest in Gandhinagar, he was working as a store helper, the police said.
During interrogation, Halder allegedly admitted to his involvement in the killing.
He said he fled to Mumbai after the incident, later moving to Prayagraj and then to Gujarat.
