Eighteen days after mid-day's report, the Vakola police arrested Abid Ali Mushtaque Tanaji, 46, for allegedly trespassing on the bungalow of an undertrial, 66-year-old Roque D'Souza. D'Souza was arrested for allegedly killing his wife, Celine D'Souza, in July 2017. Police demanded maximum custody for Tanaji, as he's suspected to be involved in other land-grabbing matters as well. Cops confirmed before the court that Tanaji grabbed the bungalow with forged documents, in connivance with the complainant's brother Joseph D'Souza and one Prem Chandran.

Roque's Kalina bungalow is spread across 6,000 sq fit, and worth '50cr. According to Roque's complaint, Tanaji, along with Chandran and Joseph, forged the documents to claim ownership of the bungalow. Tanaji started Chinese Kitchen inside the bungalow, a Chinese delivery service. After his arrest, the cops have sealed the bungalow.
