The body of the victim, Raees Ansari, was found near Aksa beach in Malwani yesterday, a senior police official said.
The accused, Shahrukh Ansari, was arrested around 2.30 pm today from his residence in suburban Kandivali.
"The accused and the victim were known to each other and used to stay in the same locality. As per the initial investigation, Raees used to repeatedly ask Shahrukh to go for wife swap. Enraged over the idea, Shahrukh killed Raees, a senior police official attached to Malwani police station said.
