According to police, M Sivakumar from Karimedu in Tiruvallur district and his friend Srinivasan had allegedly murdered one Mani from Poovalambedu in Gummidipoondi district in 2000 due to previous enmity.
“A few months after the murder, the duo was released on bail and later jumped the bail. Since 2001 they have been absconding. In 2005, the case was transferred to the CB-CID by the Tiruvallur court. The next year, Srinivasan died of a cardiac arrest,” said a police officer.
Recently, the court had issued an arrestwarrant against Sivakumar. Following this, Pathiruvedu police arrested him from Karimedu and remanded him in judicial custody.
