The Malad police arrested wanted criminal Waseem Qureshi, a member of the interstate 'Tak Tak' gang, who had stolen the mobile phone of a Malad-based businessman from his car last week.

According to the police, 38-year-old Paras Jain was heading towards his office in the car and got stuck at traffic near Babulin junction on SV Road. Waseem knocked on Paras's car door, saying that his foot came under the four-wheeler’s tyre.

When Paras lowered his window glass, another person came from the other side and asked him to move the car ahead as he has halted the vehicle in the middle of the road. The businessman had kept his phone on the seat beside him and as soon as he turned towards Waseem, he picked up the phone and ran away. Paras immediately got down from his car and ran behind Waseem.
