For 23 years, Harun Ali Mustakin Ali Sayyed, an autorickshaw driver, evaded the law for a murder he allegedly committed in 2001, but it finally caught up with him, as the Maharashtra police have announced his arrest, reported news agency PTI.

Sayyed (43) was wanted for a murder that he allegedly committed on October 14, 2001, when a passenger, Moharam Ali, then 56, stepped into his autorickshaw in Palghar district, neighbouring Mumbai, reported PTI.

A dispute over the fare erupted, and Sayyed, in a fit of rage, allegedly stabbed Moharam Ali repeatedly and escaped. Within an hour, Moharam Ali succumbed to his injuries, reported PTI.
