While investigating Raja's murder, a team of Wadala Truck Terminus (TT) police found that Imran and Khan had been missing, he said. A police team arrested Khan from Rajsaman in Rajasthan on December 16, he said. During Khan's interrogation, the role played by him and Imran in the killing came to the fore. Three serious offences were registered against Khan at various police stations, he said.

The police team, which was on hunt of Imran, received a secret information that he would be visiting his residence in Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai, following which a trap was laid and he was arrested. "According to preliminary investigation, T P Raja was killed by two of his friends for financial transactions and property dealings," said N Ambika, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone-IV.
