Salim Khan, a 54-year-old man sentenced to life imprisonment for the kidnapping and murder of a 13-year-old boy in 1995, was arrested by the Delhi Police crime branch in Loni, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday. After jumping bail in 2000, Khan reinvented himself as 'Salim Wastik,' a YouTuber with over 63,000 subscribers and a social media presence criticizing Islamic ideology. His arrest followed a cold case review that revealed his true identity, which he had hidden for 26 years. Investigators traced him back to his roots in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, where family members mistakenly believed he was dead. Khan's capture underscores the complexities of tracking individuals who have successfully evaded law enforcement for decades while building new identities. He had previously been a martial arts instructor and was involved in a notorious kidnapping case that led to the death of a young boy, whose body was found shortly after the crime. Following his arrest, Khan was sent to Tihar Jail, where he will face the consequences of his long evasion from justice.
