Karnataka: Fugitive Murder Accused Apprehended After Years
Imagine someone named Mustafa was accused of a crime, but was let out on bail.
However, the highest court decided that he shouldn't be free.
So, Mustafa ran away to another country.
He was wanted for a murder that happened a while ago.
After hiding for years and using fake papers, he snuck back into India.
The police found him and arrested him near a town called Mangaluru.
He now faces many charges, and the court will decide what happens next.
