Fugitive Murder Accused Held After 35 Years as 'Sadhu'
Imagine a man named Ranveer Jat who was accused of murder a long time ago.
Instead of going to court, he pretended to be a holy man and traveled around for many years.
He even had some followers!
But the police never stopped looking for him.
After 35 years, they found him at a temple and arrested him.
Now, he will have to face the court for the murder he was accused of.
A man accused of murder evaded arrest for 35 years by posing as a 'sadhu'.
Ranveer Jat was wanted in connection with a 1989 murder case.
He was arrested on Friday in Barsana, Uttar Pradesh, where he lived under a false identity.
Jat disappeared after being granted bail in 1991 and never appeared for court hearings.
He was living as Ramkishan Dasji and built a small following of disciples.
