New Delhi, June 28 (IBNS) Nearly three months after National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer Tanzil Ahmad's murder near Delhi, the main accused has been arrested, reports said.

 Muneer, a former student of Aligarh Muslim University, was arrested in Uttar Pradesh. The 35-year-old man is said to be the mastermind behind the murder. He is allegedly involved in two other murder cases.
