Nagpur: Evading arrest for 43 years, an accused in assault case was nabbed by Nagpur cops on Saturday after his name figured in a list of government beneficiaries. The accused, Deepak Bansod, who is now 75 years old, went absconding from Sitabuldi area in 1979 following a case was registered against him in an assault case.
According to police, in 1979, a case was registered at Sitabuldi Police Station against Bansod under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt). He was arrested in the case at that time, and was also produced in a local court, which had granted bail to him. However, soon after being released on bail, Bansod had left his rented accommodation in Sitabuldi area and went untraceable.
