Ashwani Kumar, a resident of Rehari Colony, Jammu, was wanted in connection with a case registered in 1994 under Sections 279 and 304A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). A warrant for his arrest was issued in 1996, but he managed to stay under the radar for nearly three decades.
The other four absconders were also involved in various criminal cases.
After their arrest, all five accused were presented before the concerned courts for further judicial proceedings. Their capture represents a triumph for the justice system and serves as a deterrent to others contemplating similar acts of evasion. The Ramban Police have urged the public to continue cooperating with law enforcement authorities by providing information about wanted individuals and suspicious activities.
The apprehension of Ashwani Kumar, especially after such a long period, sends a strong message that past crimes will not be forgotten.
