Hathras Superintendent of Police told that Singh, who was convicted in 1987, was living in Delhi with his wife for over three decades.
A rape convict from Uttar Pradesh's Hathras district who had jumped parole has been arrested after 33 years from Delhi, where he was living under a fake identity, police said on Tuesday.
Relatives of Raghunandan Singh (56) in his native village in Hathras were shocked to learn that he was "alive" as they and fellow villagers believed that he was dead, they said.
Hathras Superintendent of Police Vineet Jaiswal told PTI that Singh, who was convicted in 1987, was living in Delhi with his wife for over three decades and working at a garment retail outlet in the city.
"He was convicted in a rape case but granted parole while serving the punishment. He had jumped parole and was absconding for the last 33 years. He has been arrested now," Mr Jaiswal said.
