According to the police, he was re-arrested from Christian Colony in Jaggayyapeta in Krishna district. This place is about 60km away from where he allegedly ran away. He was reportedly at a relative's house there. Satyam Babu was then taken to the DSP's office in Nandigama.
The police are now saying that he will also have to face charges of escaping from police custody.
There is already an uproar by human rights activists who demand to know how a man who could not even walk without support could escape from the clutches of 11 armed policemen. Foul play is being suspected even by the parents of Ayesha Meera - the girl Satyam had allegedly killed - who say that the case is being desperately closed in order to protect the actual culprits.
