Delhi man arrested for conspiring nephew's murder

In a shocking family feud, Lal Kunal (36) was arrested after allegedly hiring Arun Kumar (45) to stab his nephew, Suraj, in Delhi's Paharganj on May 30.
Suraj suffered a serious neck injury, and while Kumar was caught at the scene, Kunal managed to escape.
Police quickly filed an attempted murder case against Kunal, and Kumar was held at the scene.

TL;DR

Accused on the run for over a month

Kunal stayed on the run for over a month before police finally caught up with him in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, on June 30—his bail plea had already been rejected.
During questioning, Kunal admitted he paid Kumar for the attack as revenge over an old assault case involving Suraj.
The investigation is still ongoing; meanwhile, Kumar remains in custody.
