The Chamarajpet police arrested 32-year-old Mateen Khan, who was on the run after allegedly stabbing his uncle, former councillor Ayub Khan, to death over a row on July 13.
The accused moved around in an autorickshaw and changed hideouts frequently to escape from the police. However, a special team of police tracked him down at Kengeri on Monday and arrested him.
According to the police. the accused stabbed Ayub, who was also a realtor and president of Khudadaad mosque for the last 15 years.
