The accused, identified as Abhirup Paul (32), was arrested by Crime Branch Unit 6 from Chembur, a senior police officer confirmed. He was produced before a magistrate's court on August 8. Although the police sought 10 days of custody, the court initially granted limited custody. Paul has now been remanded in police custody till August 10.
