An Indian man who confessed to murdering a 31-year-old woman in Bangalore 12 years ago has been arrested while living under an assumed name in the Maldives.
A police spokesman confirmed to the Maldives Independent that an expatriate was arrested in Addu City with a court warrant on Tuesday but declined to reveal any further details. 
AONews, a community news website in the southernmost atoll, identified the expat as Gururaj Kishore, an Indian citizen who had confessed to murdering his colleague Tanya Banerjee.
Prior to his arrest in the Maldives, Kishore had been working as a laboratory assistant at private clinics in Addu City for the past four years under the name of Baasker Srivesta, according to AONews.
