The main accused, Jamir alias Allahrakha, 30, was arrested from Gulbarga in Karnataka after the DN Nagar police received information that Allahrakha, was in the hiding after killing Asma Shaikh and dumping her body in Andheri (W).
According to sources, the deceased Shaikh was spotted with her boyfriend Asif in Andheri (W), the night before her murder.
