After fleeing Mumbai, Salim Ansari went to a relative’s place in a slum, Bharat Nagar, on the Haryana border with northwest Delhi. He was caught while taking a walk in the area. He was brought to Mumbai late on Sunday night.
The police team that picked up Salim was led by inspectors Gulabrao Gore of Mumbai and Dinesh Kumar of Delhi. The suspect was produced in a Delhi court, which sanctioned a transit remand to the Mumbai police till August 27.
The first three arrests were made on Friday and Saturday. Chand Shaikh (19), Vijay Jadhav (19) and Siraj Khan (24), along with Qasim, have been remanded in police custody till August 30. Siraj and Qasim were medically examined and produced before the Quila Court on Sunday. Chand and Vijay went through the routine the previous day.
The final arrests in the case came within 65 hours from the complaint being registered (around 8.30 pm on Thursday). Teamwork by cops helped in cracking the case quickly, said Mumbai police commissioner Satyapal Singh.
On Thursday evening, a photojournalist with a lifestyle magazine was brutalized, allegedly by the five men, in Shakti Mills, near railway tracks in Mahalaxmi.
