"Mumbai Police approached us for help in arresting Khanna who was initially untraceable. Then he was found from his friend's flat on Pen Road in Alipore area and arrested," Ghosh said.

 

According to Kolkata Police officials, Khanna was grilled by a Mumbai police team for around two hours and on finding discrepancies in his replies, arrested him.

Khanna would be produced at Alipore court tomorrow for transit remand, Ghosh said.

"Mumbai Police were willing to take him away to Mumbai today but we insisted that they produce Khanna in a local court and seek his transit remand," Ghosh said.
