Alappuzha (Kerala) April 17: The last key accused in the murder of a former radio jockey was arrested here on Tuesday, police said.
Appunny was part of a four-member gang who killed Rajesh on March 27 at his studio near Thiruvananthapuram.
Last week, the police arrested gang leader Alibhai, a resident of Alappuzha district, upon his arrival from Qatar at the Trivandrum International Airport.
A few days after the murder, Alibhai had flown to Qatar, where he works in a gymnasium.
The police suspect that the gym's owner was the actual mastermind, as Rajesh who was also in in Qatar, had an affair with his former wife.
The police was now trying to repatriate the owner of the gym, but the Qatari authorities have imposed a travel ban on him.

Rupee falls 5 paise to 90.23 against US dollar in early trade
Mumbai (PTI): The rupee depreciated 5 paise to 90.23 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday, driven by rising crude oil prices and an unabated outflow of foreign funds.
According to forex traders, a volatile geopolitical situation and concerns over further US tariffs on Indian exports fueled the selling of Indian stocks by foreign institutional investors, even as traders awaited cues from macroeconomic data to be released this week.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 90.23 and stayed weaker by 5 paise from its previous closing level.
