S Daswant, the notorious rapist and killer of a seven-year-old in Chennai, has been arrested once again, a day after he escaped the grasp of the Tamil Nadu (TN) police who were escorting him out of Mumbai. Daswant, who is also wanted for his mother's murder, told the cops that he had fled to kill one final person on his hit list. The police were able to hunt him down shortly after he escaped from a Vile Parle hotel, owing to his penchant for gambling. He was picked up near a gambling centre at Kala Ghoda.
