Mumbai, Nov 14 (UNI) The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested a man and seized two country-made pistols along with 19 live cartridges during an operation in Agripada area of south Mumbai official said here on Sarturday, while three other suspects managed to escape following a scuffle with the police team.
According to police, the Crime Branch personnel intercepted four persons in the locality. However, when the officers attempted to apprehend them, a scuffle broke out, during which three suspects fled. The fourth person was caught at the spot.
The arrested accused, a resident of Thane, has several criminal cases registered against him, police said.
During the preliminary investigation, police reportedly suspected that the accused and his associates had planned to create panic in Bollywood. Investigators are also probing an alleged connection between the case and Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. However, the nature of the alleged link is yet to be established.
Advocate Ganesh Pujari, representing the accused, said police had claimed to recover two revolvers and 19 cartridges from his client, following which he was remanded to three days of police custody.
The defence counsel said the alleged connection with Tiger Shroff would become clear only after the investigation was completed. He also pointed out that police had not disclosed details about the involvement of any other individuals or the source of the seized weapons.
Pujari claimed that his client belonged to an ordinary family and had been arrested primarily on suspicion, allegedly on the basis of one or two previous criminal cases registered against him. He said the defence would decide its further legal course after examining the developments during the investigation.
Meanwhile, the Crime Branch has launched a search for the three absconding suspects. Police are investigating the source of the firearms, the alleged motive behind their possession and the suspected Bollywood connection.
