Thane: A 50-year-old man has been arrested from Uttar Pradesh in connection with the abduction of a local teenage boy, nearly a decade after the incident, police said.

However, arrest of Kadir Choudhary on January 15 revealed that the 16-year-old victim, identified as Pramod Gautam, died after he fell from a truck in which his abductors were shifting him, sometime in January 2005.
