The accused, identified as Nilesh Nanche, allegedly conspired to kill Handore and gave a contract for it to a person, he said.
The accused suspected that he may not get a ticket for the forthcoming elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation because of Handore's 'clout', the official said on Saturday.
Handore filed a complaint against Nanche at Tilak Nagar police station here on Friday evening.
