A man wanted for allegedly killing his brother-in-law in Uttar Pradesh and a jeweller in Mumbai was arrested today as he was about to fly out of the country, a Crime Branch official said.
Noushad Khan (30), had allegedly killed Bharat Rohanlal Singh, a Ghatkopar-based jeweller, in 2010 and fled to Uttar Pradesh and from there to Saudi Arabia, an official said.
Khan worked in the Gulf country as a driver and would frequently visit his native village in UP's Azamgarh district where he is accused of shooting dead his brother-in-law, the official informed.
A case in this connection was lodged against him in Jiyanpur police station in Uttar Pradesh, he said.
The official said that Khan, while working in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, had also attacked a man, identified as Mohammad Yusuf Maniyar, with a sword.
Acting on a tip off, Unit 5 of the Crime Branch today arrested Khan while he was in the process of fleeing the country, the official said.
