Woman, paramour wanted in 2022 murder case arrested from Andaman
Police have arrested a woman and her paramour in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for a 2022 murder case involving the death of the woman's husband. The suspects had been absconding after failing to appear in court, leading to the issuance of non-bailable warrants.
Why it matters
This case highlights the effectiveness of inter-state police coordination in tracking fugitives who attempt to evade justice by assuming false identities.
A woman accused of murdering her husband with the help of her paramour in 2022 was arrested by the Bheemunipatnam police in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on October 9, 2026. A special team from the Visakhapatnam City police travelled to the remote Swaraj Dweep to track down and apprehend the absconding duo, who had allegedly assumed false identities to evade the law.
The arrested were identified as V. Nookaraju, a resident of Vasuvanipalem, and V. Jyothi (26), a resident of Bheemunipatnam mandal. The duo had reportedly fled after non-bailable warrants (NBWs) were issued against them for repeatedly failing to appear before the court.
