New Delhi, July 26 || Delhi Police Crime Branch’s inter-state cell has nabbed a long-absconding parole jumper, Hamidullah Bundu Khan (70), who was convicted in a brutal double murder case involving his own daughters.
He was tracked down and arrested on July 25. The arrest could be possible only after an intensive surveillance-led operation.
Hamidullah had been convicted for administering poison to his three minor daughters in 1999, resulting in the deaths of the two younger girls, while the eldest had survived. She later became the complainant. The court had sentenced him to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) under sections 302, 307, and 328 of the Indian Penal Code.
Hamidullah was later granted parole during his sentence. However, he failed to return to custody at the end of the parole period and had been absconding for the past four years.
The arrest was carried out under the close supervision of ACP Ramesh Chandra Lamba and the leadership of Inspector Satender Poonia, said the Delhi police.
