Bangalore - The Air India Express flight from Singapore touched Tiruchirappalli Airport on Friday and Sreenesh Thaikkodathil Sreedharan, wanted in a murder case, thought freedom was a walk out of the airport.
He chucked his passport (G2803624) in a toilet bin aboard the aircraft so that there wouldn’t be a whiff of his identity. However, he hadn’t bargained for a wily Bangalore police lying in wait for him. Wanted for the cold-blooded murder of a cosmetics trader on May 4, 2012, 30-year-old Sreedharan had fled to Malaysia before settling down in Singapore.
However, he soon ran into trouble for overstaying on a tourist visa. But, he produced a work permit and sought the court’s permission to stay on. The court asked him to go back to India and return on the work visa. Bangalore police, meanwhile, managed to track down his girlfriend, a call centre employee. Full story
