Small time Bollywood actor Anuj Tikku was detained Tuesday on suspicion of killing his father Arun Kumar, police said.
Arun Kumar was found murdered Saturday.
“Anuj and his friend has been detained for the reason that morning and are being interrogated in regards to the murder of Anuj’s father. Anuj was not traceable since his father’s murder Saturday,” Senior Police Inspector Dilip Rupawate told IANS.
Arun Kumar, 62, who's based in Ghaziabad, had come to Mumbai a couple of days back on personal business involving his son Anuj, who also runs a company that deals with events, TV commercials and content for radio.
According to police, Anuj is mentally disturbed and was receiving treatment at a hospital in Jaipur for the past four-five years and his father disapproved of him staying alone here.
Anuj had rented his apartment in suburban Andheri in northwest Mumbai to 2 tenants who're also missing since Saturday. Anuj, however, claimed to be ignorant of the murder.
According to police, Anuj is the prime suspect within the case and police are questioning him for mitigating evidence. – IANS
