Delhi Police Crime Branch has apprehended three members of a family who had been on the run for 14 years after allegedly burning a woman alive.
According to the police on Friday, in 2010, Roshan Aara was set ablaze in her home in northeast Delhi's Gokul Puri allegedly by Mustafa, Masooma, and Zarrar Khan. Special Commissioner of Police (crime branch) Devesh Chandra Srivastva said, “Following the gruesome crime, an FIR was registered at Gokul Puri Police Station.”
The three accused, natives of West Bengal's Asansol, belong to the same family and went absconding shortly after the murder, the officer said, adding that they remained elusive, assuming fake identities and moving across states to evade arrest. It was not immediately known why the trio committed the crime.
