Police said that the accused was apprehended on a tip off and has been identifies as Mohammad Vasim, a resident of Janta Majdoor Colony in Welcome area.
The agency claimed that the victim, Mahender Chand Ramola, who was into the business of ready-made garments, was dragged out of his office by four men and shot dead in the full public view on Monday night.

The arrested accused has been involved several cases of house theft and robberies in the areas of south and northeast Delhi," he said, adding that further efforts to arrest other absconding members of the gang are underway.
