In a significant breakthrough, India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Shameem KK, a fugitive wanted in connection with a 2020 double murder case in Abu Dhabi. The suspect was detained in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, after evading authorities since 2022. The case involves the deaths of Haris Thathamma Parambil, a business consultant, and Dency Antony, who were found deceased in a flat in the UAE capital on March 5, 2020. Initially, the deaths were staged to appear as suicides. Investigations later revealed that Shaibin Ashraf, an associate of Haris, orchestrated the murders out of jealousy and business rivalry. Ashraf allegedly deployed accomplices to the Gulf, funded their expenses, and plotted the killings to seize Haris’s income and savings. A charge sheet was filed in India on October 10, 2024, against Ashraf and seven others, including Shameem KK. The Kerala High Court had earlier directed the CBI to take over parts of the investigation from local police, and a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued to track the absconding suspect. The CBI has confirmed that further legal proceedings are now underway following the arrest.
