More than a decade later, a tip-off led Mumbai Police to two brothers — Firasat and Arshad Ali — who investigators alleged were behind the killing.
He and his other brother, Shah Nawaz, had been sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a trader but had disappeared after securing bail during their appeal.

The catchAfter his arrest in Mumbai, Firasat remained in jail until January 2021, when he was granted bail by the Bombay High Court.
Nearly five years later, Delhi Police’s Anti-Robbery and Snatching Cell (ARSC) of the Crime Branch received fresh intelligence on the brothers’ whereabouts.
