Woman Convicted of 1990 Child Murder Arrested After Two Decades on Run
A woman convicted of kidnapping and murdering a 10-year-old boy in Delhi in 1990 was arrested in Haridwar after evading arrest for over two decades. She had been granted parole in 2005 but failed to surrender in 2006, subsequently changing her identity, moving across cities, and marrying under an assumed name. Police traced her following a tip from a former partner, leading to her arrest on September 27. The conviction and life sentence were upheld by the appellate court.
