A life convict in the 1992 Radhika Gymkhana murder case and the assassination of former Rajya Sabha member Rauf Valiullah has been apprehended by Ahmedabad police after being on the run for seven years.
The accused, Mohammad Taslim alias Mohammad Umer Sheikh, had evaded arrest by changing his identity, location, and communication methods.
He had fled to Rajasthan, where he worked as a small-time land and property broker, got married, and had two children.
A crime branch team traced him to Rajasthan and carried out a coordinated operation to apprehend him.
Taslim was a trusted sharpshooter of notorious gangster Abdul Latif and was involved in several gang wars in the 1990s.
He was part of an armed group that opened fire at Radhika Gymkhana club in 1992, killing nine persons, and later shot dead Rauf Valiullah in broad daylight in 1992.
