Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) member Pooja Shakun Pandey was arrested on Friday evening, nearly two weeks after Abhishek Gupta, a businessman from Uttar Pradesh' Aligarh, was shot dead while boarding a bus.

Pooja is the prime accused in the murder of Gupta (25), a two-wheeler showroom owner, who was shot by two assailants allegedly hired by Pooja and her husband Ashok, an ABHM spokesperson.

Pooja, who carries the religious title of 'Mahamandleshwar', had been absconding since the murder, and had a Rs 50,000 reward on her head. She was nabbed in Rajasthan's Bharatpur.
