Five members of the Ravi Pujari gang, allegedly involved in case of firing inside filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's office in Mumbai some time back, have been arrested, a top police official said today.
Acting on a tip-off that a member of the gang would come to Ghatkopar to kill a hotelier, a police team laid a trap near Platinum Shopping Mall and arrested the five men late last night.
Four imported pistols, an imported revolver, 24 bullets and some foreign SIM cards were found in the possession of Santosh Pujari (33), Ramesh Kanojiya (27), Arvind Devadiga alias Arun (34), Nityanand Shetty alias Nitya (22) and Sampat Kotian (23), Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Meeran Borwankar told reporters here. "The five men were arrested after two rounds were fired at the police team by the gangsters," Borwankar said.
They were allegedly involved in at least five cases of firing in this city and its suburbs, including the incident at Bhatt's office in June. The filmmaker was not in the office at the time of the incident. |
