The serial killer arrested by Gujarat police frequently sought refuge in Mumbai after each murder. On Tuesday, Gujarat police apprehended the accused, Rahul Jaat, who is charged with murdering five people, including a teenager he allegedly raped before killing. Investigators revealed that all six murders occurred since October this year, during which the accused spent 12-13 days loitering on platforms at Dadar and Bandra Terminus in Mumbai. Police suspect Jaat may be involved in several other brutal killings.

Rahul Jaat, a resident of Haryana, is physically handicapped in his left leg and a school dropout who left his studies after failing in Std IV. His family severed all ties with him due to his criminal activities. Surveillance footage from CCTV cameras at Dadar, Bandra, and Vapi railway stations helped Gujarat police identify and trace him.
