A shocking revelation has emerged during an investigation by the Pune Police after it revealed that notorious gangster Nilesh Ghaywal, who was accused in the Kothrud firing case, has fled to London. Action is being taken against him in the Kothrud shooting case under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
However, several questions are now being raised as police investigations revealed how Ghaywal managed to leave Pune and fly to London?. How did he obtain a passport despite facing serious charges such as murder, extortion, kidnapping and assault?. Police have confirmed that Ghaywal has not surrendered his passport.
Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar has taken action under MCOCA against 10 people, including Nilesh Ghaywal, in connection with the Kothrud firing incident that took place just 100–200 metres from a police station. In this case, accused Mayur Gulab Kumbre, Raut, Chadilkar, Phatak, and Vyas have been arrested, while police are searching for other absconding accused. A lookout notice has been issued against Ghaywal, and he will be arrested as soon as he returns to India, said a police official to ABP news.
