On Tuesday, the three accused, Salim Afzal Khan, Iliyaz Langada and Zuber Asla Sheikh, found a leather bag in an AC coach of an empty train at Bandra terminus.
Inside the bag, there were gold and silver ornaments, which they took and left the place. Qureshi found out about the bag and demanded a share in the loot.
Police officials said that the trio was afraid that Qureshi might approach the cops anyway, and decided to kill him.

A few passers-by took him to Bhabha Hospital and informed the police. Qureshi is currently recuperating at KEM Hospital and cops informed that his condition is critical.
The initial search team tried to nab the accused, but the trio would slip away from the railway yard to the car shed, through train bogies
Nirmal Nagar police began their search operation, and they found that the accused were hiding around the railway yard and car-shed near Bandra Terminus. The initial search team, however, was unable to nab the three, as they were quite familiar with the area and would slip away from the railway yard to the car shed by going through train coaches.
Finally, the search team was expanded to 25 cops, who cordoned off the area from Bandra to Santacruz and arrested the accused within five hours.
