The Palghar Crime Branch in Maharashtra has arrested a 29-year-old man who was released from jail just a month ago and was allegedly involved in a robbery on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway near Talasari on 20 April, a police official said on Tuesday.

The accused intercepted a businessman on the highway, robbed him, and later abandoned him at the Kalyan bypass road, he said, adding that the Crime Branch team recovered the stolen car and gold valuables.
