Police repatriate murder suspect from UAE

Oct 25, 2022

GUJRAT: Police claimed on Monday to have repatriated a fugitive wanted in a double murder case from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) through Interpol 15 years after the incident. A spokesman for Gujrat police said Azhar Mahmood of Gondalkot had allegedly gunned down two people in an incident of Rehmania police precincts at least 15 years ago and then managed to flee abroad.

However, he said the police had recently accelerated its drive against hardened criminals particularly those wanted in murder cases during which special efforts were made to bring those fled out of the country through Interpol. He said inspector Mujahid Abbas currently serving as station house officer of Saddar Sara-i-Alamgir had especially been sent to Dubai where he with the help of local police detained the suspect and then brought him back.
