Unit-4 of the city police's crime branch arrested Shakti Siddheshwar Rana from Salman Khan's bungalow in Gorai in western suburbs.
Rana and some others were allegedly involved in a theft and arrested by the crime branch in 1990, said senior police inspector Ninad Sawant.
He was released on bail and then became untraceable, the police officer said.
A court had issued a non-bailable warrant against him but the police could not track him down.
Recently the crime branch officials received a tip-off that Rana was living in a house in Gorai beach area for last 20 years, he said.
Probe revealed that Rana was working as caretaker at Salman Khan's bungalow, following which the arrest was made.
