A man was arrested at Taman Wilayah, Selayang this afternoon in connection with the disappearance of an Indian businessman in Banting early this year.

The 34-year-old suspect was brought to the Kuala Langat police station at about 8.20pm, said Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar on his social networking site.

He refused to elaborate when contacted.

Millionaire A. Muthuraja allegedly disappeared after coming to Malaysia to meet two lawyer brothers who have been implicated in the murder of cosmetics millionaire Sosilawati Lawiya and three men with her.

Khalid had said that two cases of missing persons in Selangor were believed to be connected with the prime suspect in the murder of Sosilawati and three others.

The remains of Sosilawati, 47, and three others - lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, and driver Kamarudin Shansudin, 44, - were found in Ladang Gadong, Tanjung Sepat on Sunday.
