The state police had received information that he was trying to flee to a Gulf country from Mumbai after which Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Thanamandi, Iftikar Chowdhary contacted immigration officers there, the official said. The accused had recently approached officials at the Mumbai airport to travel to Kuwait. But authorities blocked his passport and informed the J-K police, he said.

The official said that a team from the Thanamandi police station in Rajouri district rushed to Mumbai. They raided a location there and arrested Malik, he said. "Further investigation into the case is going on," the official added.
