A murder convict from a Maharashtra prison, who had jumped parole five years back and was absconding ever since, has been nabbed by Goa Police.
Sudesh Naik, inspector in-charge of Margao police station, told reporters Saturday that parole-jumper Mustaka Ahmed Karambelkar, a native of Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra, was convicted for murder. He was arrested Friday night.
"He was lodged in a prison in Kolhapur district and had jumped parole in 2010. He has been living in Goa for over a year now," Naik said. The arrest was made following a tip off, he said.
Karambelkar was also booked under the Arms Act after a foreign-made unlicensed pistol was found on his person with three live bullets. He and three others were convicted for the murder of a man named Faiz Shakeel in 2006 in Mumbai.
Police said Maharashtra prison authorities have been informed about the arrest.
