After Kothrud’s firing incident on September 17, the Pune Police invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against Pune-based Gangster Nilesh Ghaywal and his eight aides, following which Ghaywal fled to London.   

And a Look Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against Ghaywal, and a probe is ongoing as to how he managed to obtain a passport despite having numerous criminal cases filed against him.  

According to Police records, Ghaywal used to be an ardent follower of gangster Gaja Marne in the early 2000s and did operations together.  Between 2000 to 2003, Ghaywal and Marne used to operate together.
