Absconder arrested

City police officials arrested absconder Javed Pathan, 31, a resident of Shah-e-Alam, Danilimda, on Saturday. The police said that Pathan was hiding to avoid being booked under the PASA.
The crime branch has already prepared a dossier for Pathan. PCB records show that Pathan is a habitual offender and was dodging police since March 9 when the PASA order was issued against him, the police said.
Based on a tip-off received by police constable Bhupendrasinh Dharmendrasinh, Pathan was trapped in Shah-e-Alam. The accused was later handed over to the Danilimda police. "He is likely to be sent to a jail outside the city," the police said.
