Mangaluru, Aug 11: The CCB police have successfully nabbed a long-sought accused who had been involved in a criminal case within the Surathkal police station jurisdiction back in 1993. Having remained in hiding for the past thirty years, he has now been brought to justice.

The accused, identified as Mustafa alias Mohammed Mustafa (63), a resident of Kulai, Mangaluru, and currently residing in Palimar, Udupi district, had been on the run after being implicated in a case of arson in 1993. He had been absent from court proceedings, thus evading the law.

Acting upon their efforts, the police located and arrested the individual in the vicinity of Palimar. Subsequently, he was handed over to the Surathkal police station for further legal proceedings.

The arrest operation was successfully carried out under the leadership of CCB unit ACP P A Hegde, along with the dedicated efforts of police inspector Sham Sunder H M, PSI Sudeep M V, and their team.
