PUNE: A Pune police team on Monday night reached Lucknow in search of Kiran Gosavi, wanted in a nearly Rs 4 lakh cheating case registered in 2018, but he had already left the Uttar Pradesh capital by then.
He was suspected to be hiding Fatehpur Sikri, police said.
Gosavi, who was elusive for more than three years, surfaced recently as NCB’s “independent witness” in the cruise drug case. He hit the headlines by po-sting a selfie with Aryan Khan, allegedly at the NCB’s office.
Gosavi went into hiding after NCP minister Nawab Malik said that he was wanted in a criminal case in Pune. The police have since renewed their efforts to nab Gosavi and even issued a lookout notice for him. On Monday, Gosavi resurfaced on a social media platform, claiming that he had to go into hiding because he was getting death threats. Pune police swung into action and concluded after examining the video clip that he was in hiding in UP. “Our team is following his movements in UP,” said Amitabh Gupta, Pune police chief.
