The Tambaram City Police have arrested a 22-year-old Assam native in Manipur in connection with the murder of a 38-year-old woman in Guduvanchery, whose decomposed and dismembered body parts were found stuffed inside a trolley bag aboard the Chennai-New Delhi Tamil Nadu Express at Agra earlier this month.
The accused, M. Manik Uddin Laskar, from Dakshin Krishnapur, Sonabarighat, in Assam’s Cachar district, was arrested at Kashimpur in Jiribam district of Manipur, the police said. He will be brought to Tambaram after the police obtain a transit warrant.
