The FIU has been formed on the directions of police commissioner Pravin Pawar and comprises one police sub-inspector and two constables from the economic offences wing. The unit will function under the supervision of DCP (crime) Ratnakar Navale, ACP Ashok Rajput, and police inspector Sambhaji Pawar.
