New Delhi, Aug 16 (UNI) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today said they had arrested a man Mohammad Dilshad who had been absconding for 26 Years after committing murder in October, 1999, in Saudi Arabia.

The CBI had registered a Local Prosecution Case in April, 2022, on the request of Saudi authorities.
