Hyderabad: A 33-year-old man, who fled to Dubai after allegedly killing his wife and dumping her body in a bag in May, was on Wednesday arrested after he was brought back to the city, police said.

Akber Ali Khan was brought back with the help of the Indian Embassy and Dubai authorities and handed over to the police, a media release said.

Earlier, a lookout circular was issued against him. Khan, working in Dubai, had married the woman in 2010.

Later, Khan developed doubt about the fidelity of his wife and on May 19 stabbed her to death allegedly at the instigation of his mother, police said.
