Mumbai police have apprehended two men who have evaded capture for decades, accused of committing serious crimes in the past.
The first arrest was made in Sakinaka, where a 59-year-old man named Suresh Chander Adagale was taken into custody. Adagale, a labourer from Pune's Shirur tehsil, was 19 when he was charged with the murder of a colleague in 1986. He was released on bail under the condition of attending court, but failed to appear, leading to the issuance of a non-bailable warrant.
Over the subsequent decades, he managed to evade detection, even living under a false identity. His arrest was made using surveillance and intelligence input, and he is currently in police custody.
In the second case, Borivali police arrested Omprakash Lalta Pasi, 55, for allegedly assaulting a cricket umpire with a bat in 1990. Pasi, then just 18, hit the umpire after being declared out during a match, causing serious injuries. He fled the scene and then failed to appear for court proceedings, resulting in a proclaimed offender designation.
Police used intelligence and technical investigation to trace him to Mira Road East, Thane, where he was apprehended. Pasi now faces an attempt to murder charge, and the investigation is ongoing.
