On the Run for 25 Years: The Capture of Suneet Agarwal

Suneet Agarwal, a fugitive for 25 years, was captured in Mumbai. Once involved in a kidnapping and extortion case in Delhi, Agarwal lived under various aliases, running a business in Mumbai. After receiving a tip-off, Delhi Police apprehended him. His brothers, also involved, remain at large.

A major breakthrough in a decades-old case came when Suneet Agarwal, a fugitive on the run for 25 years, was finally captured in Mumbai. Previously the mastermind behind a kidnapping and extortion plot in Delhi, Agarwal had reinvented himself as a businessman under different aliases.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, Agarwal had cut ties with his past life, establishing a new identity in Mumbai's imitation jewellery sector. Despite frequent relocations and avoiding digital footprints, he was located in the Malad area following a crucial tip-off.

Originally arrested in 2000, Agarwal vanished during trial proceedings and was declared a proclaimed offender in 2004 alongside his brothers, Puneet and Vinit. Now in custody, Agarwal faces ongoing legal proceedings while efforts are intensified to find his brothers still at large.
