Avinash Pawar had killed a couple in Lonavala during a robbery in 1993, gone on the run and evaded police for 30 years.
A combination of alcohol and overconfidence has led to a man - who had successfully evaded the police for three decades - spilling details of a double murder and robbery and landing in the Mumbai Crime Branch's net on Friday.
In October 1993, Avinash Pawar and two others had killed a 55-year-old man and his 50-year-old wife while robbing their house in Lonavala. While the other two men were arrested, Pawar, who was 19 years old at the time, managed to escape to Delhi, leaving his mother behind.
He then moved to Maharashtra's Aurangabad, where he got a driving licence in the name of Amit Pawar. From Aurangabad, Pawar went to Pimpri-Chinchwad and Ahmednagar, before finally settling in Mumbai's Vikhroli.
Pawar went on to get an Aadhaar card in his new name, got married and even ensured a successful political career for his wife.
