Almost a year after a woman was robbed of valuables and murdered on the Mumbai Central-bound Bhuj Express, the Government Railway Police (GRP) finally arrested accused Mohammad Aslam Sheikh, 45. He has also been found to be involved in two other theft cases that happened on the same route last year. The cops picked up Aslam, a resident of Kalwa, from Dadar. Later, during interrogation, he confessed to the crimes.

On December 7, 2018, deceased Dariyabai Chaudhary was travelling to Mumbai in Bhuj Express when the incident took place. She was visiting her sister, who lives in the city. According to the GRP, when the train reached Borivli, the ladies compartment became vacant. Founding the woman to be alone in the compartment, Aslam boarded the train. He first tried to rob her of her purse and jewellery and even slapped her in the attempt. Then he killed her with a knife and looted the valuables.
