Harida Shakila, 26, was arrested on charges of conspiracy and murder.
Earlier, the police had arrested Imran Basha, 26, son-in-law of Masthan’s brother Ghouse Adambasha, and four other associates for smothering Mr. Masthan to death in a moving car.
Basha, the main accused, had confessed that he, his father-in-law and his associates planned and executed the murder due to a dispute over ancestral property.
Adambasha was arrested in January.
