Police said it was suspected that the assailant’s wife allegedly had an illicit relationship with the fruit seller, which prompted the husband to kill him. Alam was stabbed with a knife in public view around 9am on APC Road in front of 155/H/9, Khagen Chandra Sen Street. Ansari was arrested from Giridih in Jharkhand on Sunday and was produced before a court there on the same day.
