A 40-year-old convict, who was on the run after jumping parole in a 2002 murder and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-7-year-old-sexually-assaulted-by-neighbour--23366034" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">kidnapping case</a> of an eight-year-old girl, has been arrested, police said on Tuesday.
"We tracked his mobile phone activities and arrested him in a tent shop from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh on Monday," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Amit Goel said.
According to Goel, in February 2002, the convict, Kamal Kumar, had a quarrel with his <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-proclaimed-offender-wanted-in-murder-as-well-as-armed-robbery-arrested-from-rohini-23365028" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">neighbour in Dakshinpuri</a>. To take revenge, Kumar later kidnapped his neighbour's eight-year-old daughter and subsequently killed her by throwing a heavy stone on her face, he said.
The same year, Kumar was convicted and awarded a life sentence by a court, Goel said.
"He was granted parole for 90 days on May 25, 2021 but did not surrender back and was on the run," the DCP said.
