Dr Parvez Shaikh, 35, who was arrested by the CST railway police on Saturday from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh, was brought to the city on Sunday.
He was produced before a local court and has been remanded in police custody till March 25. Parvez was held for allegedly murdering his wife Rehmat.
Parvez, his younger brother Tabrez Haq and cousin Abul Haseeb, both arrested on Friday night, were booked on charges of murder.
“During interrogation, it was revealed that Rehmat had objected to her husband’s second marriage with one Arsia Qureshi at Ratlam in December 2010. Since then, Rehmat and Parvez had been quarrelling. He then allegedly teamed up with Haq and Haseeb and hatched a plot to kill Parvez,” said railway police commissioner TA Chavan.
A neighbour of Rehmat’s identified her on seeing her picture in a newspaper. She told police that Parvez used to torture Rehmat physically and mentally. She also gave the cell numbers of Parvez and his two brothers to the police. The brothers were arrested in Mumbai, said senior inspector Ashok Kumar Jadhav of CST railway police station.
On March 14, around 5.30pm, Parvez, Haq and Haseeb allegedly strangled Rehmat and stuffed her body in a suitcase. Soon after the murder, Parvez left for Ratlam to meet Arsia, while the other two carried the suitcase to Mumbra station in the night. Haseeb boarded the luggage compartment of Ambernath-bound slow local with the suitcase, alighted at Kopar and joined Haq back at Mumbra.
The suitcase was found on Sandhurst Road station by an alert commuter who informed the police, added Jadhav.
