Upon probing the matter, it was revealed that the accused harboured resentment towards the victim for assisting his third wife in leaving him, leading to the fatal attack, the PTI report added.
Additionally, it was discovered that the accused intended to harm his wife, who had relocated to Pratapgarh (UP) after separating from him. Consequently, he travelled to UP via train.
Utilising the technological and financial data of the accused, the police tracked him down to a village in UP's Jaunpur district, within the Buxa police station limits.
Collaborating with authorities in UP, a team from Bhiwandi successfully apprehended the accused from the village on Friday and transported him back to Thane on Saturday.
The arrested individual has a history of criminal activities, amassing about 25 offences including theft, attempted dacoity, and assault, documented by the Narpoli, Bhiwandi taluka, Ulhasnagar, Navi Mumbai, and Thane police departments.
