He was arrested by the Panvel Police of Navi Mumbai Circle 2 from Raia village in Amritsar.

The owner of the workplace suddenly sacked Salvinder Singh Amarsingh Majvi, Bittusing Arjun Singh Majvi and Bausing Arjun Singh Goudas from work. The fired staff suspected that Kashmira Singh Ajit Singh Virk was behind instigating the owner who sacked them. Out of that anger, they bludgeoned Virk to death while he was taking a tanker from Panvel.
One person has held while another had died in the interim, whereas accused Bittusingh Majbi had fled. "We recently found out he was living in Amritsar under a new name," a police official said. Among them, Bausing Arjun Singh Goudas, the accused in this murder case, has died.
