THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Dharmarajan, the lone absconding convict in the Suryanelli gang rape case, was arrested on Friday by Kerala police from Karnataka.
According to reports, he will be taken to Kottayam for questioning.
Few days back, Kerala police had formed a team to nab Dharmarajan after he appeared on a Malayalam TV channel alleging P J Kurien's involvement in the case.
Dharmarajan was among a group of 35 men accused of sexually abusing the 16-year-old girl for 40 days in 1996. The girl was from Suryanelli in Kerala.
In 2005, the Kerala high court had sentenced Dharmarajan to 5-year in jail. After getting bail, he had gone underground. Thirty four others were acquitted in the case.
