Following a 30-year manhunt, two accused individuals accused of rape have been apprehended in Mumbai. Suken Vishkarma, aged 53, was arrested by the Samta Nagar police from Kandivali East, while Mohammad Saiyyad, 48, was detained by the Dindoshi police from Bandra East. Their evasion of justice was made possible by adopting new identities.
The police utilized technological advancements and networks of informants to trace and apprehend the individuals. In the case of Vishkarma, the Samta Nagar Police registered an FIR against him in 1995. Despite being granted bail, he failed to appear in court, leading to a proclamation of him as an absconder. The police used his old addresses and activated their local network, aided by technology and informers, to locate him in Jiwala Pada, Thakur Village, Kandivali East.
Similarly, Saiyyad was arrested in Bandra East following a search warrant issued by the Juvenile Court in 1995. As he was a minor at the time, the court took a special interest in the case. The police remained undercover in the Behrampada slum for four days before confirming his identity and making the arrest. The successful captures underline the importance of technology and community cooperation in solving long-standing cases.
