: A 25-year-old man who allegedly stoned to death the live-in partner of a transgender person in north-east Delhi’s Karawal Nagar in July and had been on the run ever since has been arrested.

The accused, Vinod, was carrying a reward of ₹25,000 on his head, said Joint CP (Crime) Ravindra Yadav.

Police on the trail

To gather information about him, a team of Crime Branch had even visited Jharkhand, where the accused comes from.

He was finally arrested on Wednesday from Khajuri Chowk based on a tip-off.

The police said Vinod worked odd jobs and often spent his time with the deceased, Mahender Tomar. However, Tomar would allegedly often use derogatory terms for Vinod’s wife. On July 14, a drunken conversation between them turned ugly during which Vinod allegedly used a stone to repeatedly hit Tomar on his head, killing him on the spot.
