Delhi Police arrested Chandra Shekhar Prasad, an 84-year-old man, for the 1986 murder of his wife, Laxmi. The arrest was part of a cold case initiative aimed at solving long-unsolved crimes. Prasad allegedly bludgeoned Laxmi to death with bricks after suspecting her of infidelity, with the crime occurring in their home in Shakarpur, East Delhi. Following the murder, he fled and was declared an absconder in 1987. The investigation faced challenges due to the lack of digital evidence and reliable leads over the decades. Recently, a police team, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police Satendra Mohan, re-examined old case files and placed phone numbers linked to Prasad's relatives under surveillance. This led them to Nalanda, Bihar, and eventually to Alipur, Delhi, where he had been living under the alias Prithvi. Prasad's claims that his accomplices have died are currently being verified.
