Haris alias Chhotu Abdul Aziz (23) had escaped from UP two months ago and was hiding in Panvel, from where he was held on a tip off, Panvel police station senior inspector Niteen Thackeray said.
The bandh was called by pro-Kannada organisations, led by Vatal Nagraj group, against the state government's decision to form a Maratha Development Authority and allot it Rs 50 crore.
