K. Muthukumar, who hailed from a village near Sethumadai, was arrested by a team of police from a place in Chittur taluk in Palakkad district, Kerala.
The police said Muthukumar was arrested on charges of murdering his friend S. Rajendran (59) of Thammampathy village near Vettaikaranpudur in 2018. After obtaining conditional bail in the case, Muthukumar was reported missing from 2020.
