After a lengthy 16-year pursuit, law enforcement has apprehended one of the suspects involved in a gruesome murder case in Bindapur, Delhi. The individual had been on the run since 2009, as confirmed by a police official on Saturday.

In this shocking incident, the victim was decapitated, and their torso was concealed within a metal box. Authorities have identified the suspect as 55-year-old Ashiq Ali, a resident of Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh. He was captured in Surat, Gujarat, where he had been living under a false identity to evade arrest.

According to police reports, a reward of ₹25,000 was offered for information leading to Ali's arrest. He had been declared a fugitive in 2011 and had successfully evaded capture for over fifteen years.
