Mumbai: A suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, Saleem Khan, who was absconding for the past nine years, was arrested from Mumbai Airport, an official said on Monday.

The operation was carried out jointly by the Uttar Pradesh ATS and Maharashtra ATS. Khan is currently being interrogated in Mumbai.

Wanted since 2008 with a Lookout Notice issued for him, Khan was arrested when he arrived from an undisclosed location to Mumbai.
