The accused Santosh Kumar failed to join trial and was declared a Proclaimed Offender on 24.03.2011. Despite sustained efforts, he remained untraceable. Recently, on the basis of technical intelligence and ground verification, his location was pinpointed in Delhi, leading to his successful arrest by the CBI team.
