Delhi Police Arrest Man After 29 Years in 1997 Rajouri Garden Murder CasePreviousNext

Delhi Police arrested Mohammad Fahim, accused of murdering co-worker Sharif Hasan Khan in 1997, after nearly 29 years on the run. Fahim allegedly killed Khan over a monetary dispute by assaulting him with an iron rod and strangling him before hiding the body. The case was recently reinvestigated by the crime branch using fresh intelligence and surveillance, leading to Fahim's arrest in Lucknow on July 3. Khan was identified as a clothing shop worker from Ayodhya, and Fahim had been declared a proclaimed offender in 1997.
