Pune police act against Kiran Gosavi over cheating case registered in 2018
The Pune police on Thursday said they had detained Kiran Gosavi, a controversial witness and self-styled private investigator in the Mumbai cruise drugs case, in connection with a cheating case lodged in 2018.
“We have taken him into custody from the outskirts of Pune. Our case is regarding a cheating case in which Gosavi was absconding. He had promised jobs to some people and a charge sheet was filed in this regard. As per the record, he was ‘missing’ in this case for two years. We are completing the pre-arrest procedures,” said Pune Commissioner of Police Amitabh Gupta.
According to sources, a team of policemen from the anti-extortion cell of the Pune Crime Branch took the absconding Mr. Gosavi into custody from the city’s Katraj area at around 4 a.m.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
