<p>A 40-year-old convict, who was on the run after jumping parole in a 2002 murder and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-7-year-old-sexually-assaulted-by-neighbour--23366034" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">kidnapping case</a> of an eight-year-old girl, has been arrested, police said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>"We tracked his mobile phone activities and arrested him in a tent shop from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh on Monday," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Amit Goel said.</p>
<p>According to Goel, in February 2002, the convict, Kamal Kumar, had a quarrel with his <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-proclaimed-offender-wanted-in-murder-as-well-as-armed-robbery-arrested-from-rohini-23365028" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">neighbour in Dakshinpuri</a>. To take revenge, Kumar later kidnapped his neighbour's eight-year-old daughter and subsequently killed her by throwing a heavy stone on her face, he said.</p>
<p>The same year, Kumar was convicted and awarded a life sentence by a court, Goel said.</p>
<p>"He was granted parole for 90 days on May 25, 2021 but did not surrender back and was on the run," the DCP said.</p>
<p>Despite the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-police-arrest-one-of-two-suspects-in-nigerian-nationals-murder-case-23364407" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">court's order</a> to surrender within 15 days after the expiration of the parole period, Kumar failed to comply with the order and was evading arrest since then, he added.</p>
