Latur, February 12 A man was arrested on Thursday in connection with a 17-year-old motorcycle theft case in Latur, as a result of the police reopening "dormant" and old files to ensure victims receive justice, an official said.
A motorcycle was stolen in 2009 using a duplicate key, following which a case was registered under sections of the Indian Penal Code at the Shivajingara police station, he said.
"The accused, Siddheshwar alias Datta Shivaji Ghogare (37), a resident of Shivnagar, Latur, who is currently residing in Mantrinagar, was arrested on June 15, 2009. However, he later remained absent during court proceedings and continued to evade police. He was arrested today based on information received from Siddheshwar Chowk on Malwati Ring Road. He has been remanded in judicial custody until February 18," the official said.
