The accused, identified as Doni Sarkar, had fled the city following the incident. He was caught by a team from Kandivali Police aboard the Gitanjali Express, which was heading to Howrah Junction in West Bengal.

According to a report by The Times of India, the accused was nabbed when the train halted at Raipur Junction in Chhattisgarh. He was reportedly attempting to flee to his hometown in West Bengal.
