Vilas Balaram Pawar, also known as Raju, a notorious associate of the infamous gangster Chhota Rajan, has been arrested after 16 years on the run. Pawar, 62, had managed to evade capture for over a decade and a half, but was finally apprehended by a team from the Deonar police station. He was wanted for his alleged involvement in numerous criminal activities connected to the Chhota Rajan syndicate, which has been notorious for its operations in extortion, smuggling, and other illicit activities.
The arrest took place after months of intense investigation and surveillance. The police were able to gather crucial evidence that led to his capture. Pawar’s long evasion of law enforcement was a source of considerable frustration for investigators, but his eventual capture marks a significant victory for Mumbai’s police force.
With his arrest, authorities believe that they have dealt a severe blow to the criminal network associated with Chhota Rajan, which has been involved in illegal activities for decades. Pawar’s role in the criminal activities of Rajan’s gang has been a major concern for law enforcement agencies, and his arrest is expected to shed light on several other ongoing investigations.
