Ex-armyman serving life in jail for killing wife jumps parole, arrested after over 20 years
New Delhi, Apr 14 (PTI): A former Army personnel, on the run for over 20 years after jumping parole while serving life sentence for killing his wife, has been arrested from his native village in Madhya Pradesh, said an official of the Delhi Police.
While evading arrest for more than two decades, he remarried and fathered four children.
Anil Kumar Tiwari (58), a native of Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh, had killed his wife in May 1989, by strangling her and then setting her on fire, police said in a statement. He unsuccessfully tried to pass off the death as suicide but was convicted and sentenced to life in jail in 1989.
He was granted a two-week parole in 2005 by the Delhi High Court but he jumped parole and absconded. After evading arrest for more than two decades, the Delhi Police's Crime Branch finally nabbed him from his native village on April 12.
According to police, Tiwari, who worked in the Indian Army's Ordnance Corps as a driver, had been evading arrest by avoiding mobile phones, dealing only in cash and frequently changing his residence and job.
"In November 2005, Tiwari was granted an interim suspension of sentence for two weeks, during which he absconded. The Crime Branch formed a special team to trace him. Inputs suggested his presence in Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh and later near his village in Sidhi, Madhya Pradesh. The team conducted ground-level verification and finally apprehended him," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Aditya Gautam said.
During interrogation, Tiwari revealed that he was constantly on the move, working as a driver in various cities and ensuring no digital or financial trail was left behind. He also admitted to remarrying and now has four children from his second marriage, police added.
