The Mangaluru South Police on Monday arrested 65-year-old Aslam, alias Aslam Pasha, who is an accused in a car theft case registered in 1997.

The police said that Aslam failed to appear before the jurisdictional court from February 8, 2000 soon after charge-sheet was filed in the case. Following his prolonged absence, the court termed the case as long-pending in May 2015. The police, meanwhile, were on the look-out for him.
