He had been staying at a camp of migrant labourers close to Kozhikode metropolis for the previous three months utilizing a faux identify. A crew of police officers had come right here in search of Ajay after monitoring his cell phone tower location. They contacted the Pantheerankavu police, who nabbed him from the hideout.
