Ahmedabad Crime Branch arrests man wanted for 24 years in Rajasthan murder case
Based on a complaint and a subsequent investigation by Rajasthan police, a murder case was registered
On Sunday, the Ahmedabad Crime Branch apprehended a 54-year-old man named Dineshbhai Amthabhai Arjanbhai Desai, who had evaded capture for 24 years in connection with a 2002 murder case in Rajasthan's Pali district. Desai, a native of Ucharpi village in Banaskantha district, was sought for his alleged involvement in the murder of Delaram Nai, allegedly orchestrated by him and associates with the intent to make the death appear as an accident.
The murder was linked to a dispute over ancestral property and business between two brothers in Dungli village. Desai, who had been living under different identities and moving between various locations, was working as a daily-wage laborer and a broker in Ahmedabad. He was apprehended from his residence in the Vejalpur area, where he had been living with family members involved in land broking.
The Crime Branch had been actively pursuing absconding accused from other states, and Desai's name was among those listed.
