The lynching on June 22 had triggered a nationwide outrage. A statement released by the Government Railway Police (GRP) said that a team was sent to Dhule following on a tip-off that the accused was hiding there. "He was arrested and would be produced before a court tomorrow," it said.
"The identity of the accused, who has been nabbed from Sakri in Dhule, is not being disclosed keeping in mind the legal process," SP (GRP) Kamaldeep Goyal said.
