India’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Monday arrested a man, accused in 11 murder cases in Bangladesh, from near his house in Kolkata, after a six-month-long pursuit.
The man, identified as Nurnabi Maxon, was detained from a locality in north Kolkata where he had been staying with a woman who he claimed was his wife, said CID sources.
Sources said the CID had been on the lookout for Maxon following a tip-off from the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) of Bangladesh after he escaped to West Bengal in June, last year.
Maxon’s activities came to light when his associate was arrested abroad and both were sent back to Kolkata.
The sources in CID, however, did not divulge which country Maxon and his associate travelled to and when.
According to the sources, Maxon could face enactment in India on the charges of making a passport on the basis of forged documents. Otherwise, he is likely to be handed over to Bangladesh soon since it was the Rab, which had alerted the Indian police about him.
