Based on a tip-off, the police on Friday laid a trap at Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road in Sakinaka and apprehended the accused Naveen Kumar Ranjan, the official said.
Ranjan was wanted for the murder of Bihar-based real estate agent Prem Paswan, who was shot dead over a financial dispute in January, he said.
Four other accused involved in the killing were already arrested by the Bihar police, while Ranjan, who had been on the run for the last eight months, was traced to Mumbai, the official said.
The accused are contract killers who were paid Rs 5 lakh for the murder, he said, adding that Ranjan will be handed over to the Bihar police.
