Police have apprehended the alleged mastermind behind the 1992 Delhi ashram double homicide, ending a three‑decade manhunt.
Delhi police announced the arrest of a man long suspected of orchestrating the double murder at a Delhi ashram in 1992. The suspect, who had evaded capture for more than three decades, was taken into custody after investigators linked fresh evidence to his identity.
The case, which shocked the capital at the time, involved the killing of two individuals inside the ashram premises. Over the years, the investigation saw several leads stall, but renewed forensic reviews and witness re‑interviews in recent months provided the breakthrough that led to the arrest.
Authorities said the suspect will now face trial for the murders and related charges. The police have not disclosed further details about the evidence or the next steps in the prosecution, citing procedural requirements.
