The prime accu&shy;sed in the killing of Muslim youth Junaid Khan onboard a Mathura-bound train was on Saturday arrested from Dhule district of Maharashtra, the police said.
The lynching on June 22 had triggered a nationwide outrage. A statement released by the Government Railway Police (GRP) said that a team was sent to Dhule following on a tip-off that the accused was hiding there. "He was arrested and would be produced before a court tomorrow," it said.
"The identity of the accused, who has been nabbed from Sakri in Dhule, is not being disclosed keeping in mind the legal process," SP (GRP) Kamal&shy;deep Goyal said.
The police had earlier arrested five people, including a Delhi government emplo&shy;yee in connection with the killing of Junaid between Ballabgarh and Mathura stations onboard a Delhi-Mathura passenger train. Junaid&rsquo;s brothers, Hashim and Sakir, were also injured by the mob.
