THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a dramatic end to a more than two-decade-long manhunt, the Vanchiyoor police in the state capital city on Wednesday recorded the arrest of a man who had been absconding after sexually exploiting his female student way back in 2001.
The accused, identified as Muthu Kumar, a native of Niramankara in Thiruvananthapuram, had been evading arrest since 2001 after being charged with the sexual assault of a school student.
Police said that in order to avoid detection and throw off the police he even changed his religion and was called Sam and had been working and living in Chennai for several years.
