Police in Kerala have taken into custody a Bihar man accused of murdering a Rashtriya Janata Dal leader, ending a years‑long manhunt that began in 2019.
Kerala police announced the arrest of a man from Bihar who has been on the wanted list for the murder of a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader in the state. Investigators said the suspect, identified as Ahmed, had been using Kerala as a safe haven since 2019 while allegedly coordinating criminal activities back in Bihar.
The arrest was made after a coordinated operation by the Kerala Crime Branch and local law enforcement, who tracked Ahmed's movements through surveillance and intelligence inputs. He was taken into custody without incident and will be handed over to Bihar authorities for further investigation and trial.
Officials highlighted that the capture underscores inter‑state cooperation in tackling organized crime, and they urged the public to report any suspicious activity that could aid ongoing investigations.
Ahmed is expected to face charges related to the homicide of the RJD leader, along with additional offences linked to his alleged criminal network in Bihar. The case remains under active judicial scrutiny.
