Man Arrested in Thane After 36 Years for Attacking Cricket Umpire in MumbaiPreviousNext

Omprakash Lalta Pasi, who allegedly attacked a cricket umpire with a bat in Mumbai's Borivali area in 1990 after being declared out, was arrested in Thane nearly 36 years later. At the time, Pasi fled and evaded arrest by frequently changing his address. Police traced him through technical investigation and sustained efforts, leading to his arrest at Mira Road. He faces an attempt to murder charge, and further investigation is ongoing.
