Fugitive Son Arrested: A Grim Tale of Family Betrayal

Animesh Jha, accused of murdering his mother in 2017, was arrested at the Uttar Pradesh-Nepal border. The crime stemmed from a property dispute. Jha evaded capture for years, declared a Proclaimed Offender in 2024, until advanced surveillance techniques led police to his capture.

The Delhi Police achieved a breakthrough in a longstanding murder case by capturing Animesh Jha, a man charged with killing his mother in 2017.

Investigators revealed that Jha, from Dwarka, allegedly committed the crime suspecting a property transfer to his sister. His failure to face trial since 2020 had him declared a Proclaimed Offender in 2024.

Operatives traced Jha's movements via sophisticated mobile surveillance and intelligence gathering, leading to his arrest in Uttar Pradesh near the Nepal border. Struggles with drug dependency and family disputes marked his troubled past.
