Astrologer’s Arrest After 15 Years on the Run

In a significant breakthrough, Surat police have apprehended Bhargav, a fugitive who evaded capture for fifteen years after being involved in a high-profile kidnapping case. Bhargav, who had been living under the guise of an astrologer and driver, was arrested near Dabholi Crossroads. His arrest marks the end of a long pursuit that began in 2010 when he abducted his employer’s wife. This incident followed an earlier crime in 2008, where he was out on bail for kidnapping his employer’s son.

The Long Pursuit and Capture

Bhargav’s life on the run came to an end when he returned to Surat to visit his nephew, mistakenly believing that his past crimes had been forgotten. His assumption proved costly as the police, who had been tracking him for years, swiftly moved in to arrest him. The arrest was made possible through diligent police work and surveillance, highlighting the persistence of law enforcement agencies in bringing fugitives to justice.

Living Under a False Identity

During his years as a fugitive, Bhargav adopted the persona of an astrologer and driver, successfully evading detection by blending into different communities. This dual identity allowed him to move freely without arousing suspicion. However, his return to Surat proved to be his undoing, as it provided the police with the opportunity they needed to apprehend him.

Implications of the Arrest

The arrest of Bhargav not only closes a long-standing case but also serves as a reminder of the reach and determination of law enforcement agencies. It underscores the message that justice may be delayed but not denied. The case also highlights the challenges faced by police in tracking fugitives who adopt new identities and integrate into society.
