Paritosh Sutradhar is accused in the murder case of Anup Sutradhar (29) who was hacked to death by a group of men in the DM Colony on Friday night, they said.
Six people were arrested in the murder but Paritosh was on the run, they said.
On Saturday night, Paritosh jumped off a bridge in Khowai river but he was rescued.
