The suspect, identified as Aakash Kailash Kannojia (31), was travelling in the Mumbai-to-Kolkata Jnaneshwari Express. "He was heading to Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. We have detained him based on information provided by the Mumbai Police," SK Sinha, senior inspector in-charge of Durg station, said. "He was travelling ticketless in general compartment."

The suspect was yet to be questioned, Sinha said.

To be sure, the Mumbai police are yet to ascertain whether Kannojia is the suspect they are looking for. A Mumbai police officer said a team has been dispatched to Durg to interrogate him.
