DCP Mohan Dahikar said that Keshav Kakkad, the accused, was arrested yesterday and handed over to Delhi police today.
Kakkad, according to the police, poured kerosene on a businessman and set him on fire at a market in Delhi's Karol Bagh area last month when the latter refused to pay him ransom.
The victim suffered 83 per cent burn injuries, and suffered a heavy loss as five of his shops also caught fire. He is in hospital and his condition was said to be critical.
Crime branch officers nabbed Kakkad after getting a tip-off that he would be arriving in Versova area here, the DCP said.
