A Murder convict who had jumped parole since 2020 but was often seen in the company of policemen despite facing a dozen serious cases has been arrested, following a series of reports by this newspaper. A court on Sunday ordered the Oshiwara police to take Azam Aslam Butt, 47, to the Nagpur jail where he was doing time for killing a man in 2005.

Butt was convicted in 2014 for killing Kashinath Gharat, an Oshiwara resident and was taken to the Nagpur jail. He was granted parole in 2020 for 45 days which was extended for as many days. But Butt never went back to jail.
