TIRUPPUR: A 45-year-old man who was absconding for 11 years after allegedly murdering his wife from Tiruppur, was arrested on Sunday.
The accused was identified as P Suresh Sah, a Bihar native, who was currently residing at Najafgarh in Delhi.
Police said, “In 2009, Sah stayed here and worked at a knitwear manufacturing company. At that time, he fell in love with Selvi (25), a resident of Tirunelveli, married her, and moved to Kuruppanaickenpalayam in Dharapuram and ran a panipuri stall at Dharapuram bus stand.
In 2013, due to suspicion, he killed her and went absconding. Dharapuram police registered a murder case and started a search operation. As he was nowhere to be found, district Superintendent of Police, Abhishek Gupta formed a special team.

A police officer said, “We arrested the suspect after 11 years. Delhi, Karnataka, and Puducherry police helped us.”
