The lawyer was produced in a Raipur court, which granted his three-day transit remand to Mumbai police, allowing it to take the accused to Mumbai for further investigation.

On November 7, a Mumbai police team visited Raipur as part of its investigation into the case and summoned the lawyer, Faizan Khan, for questioning after it emerged that the death threat call was made to a police station in the financial capital using a phone number registered in his name.

The Mumbai police on Tuesday morning informed their counterparts in the Chhattisgarh capital that they have arrested Faizan Khan from the Pandri police station area as part of their probe into the threat call to the actor, Raipur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Santosh Singh told PTI.
