Top Lieutenant of Gangster Gaja Marne, Sunil Bansode, Arrested After 4 Years
A man named Sunil Bansode, who worked for a gangster called Gaja Marne, has been caught by the police.
He had been hiding for four years.
This happened shortly after another person who worked for Gaja Marne, named Rupesh, was also arrested.
Gaja Marne himself is already in jail.
The police are dealing with these gangsters because they have been involved in many crimes.
The police also took action against Gaja Marne and his friends before, including confiscating fancy cars used in a big rally celebrating his release from jail.
They were also criticized for how they handled that situation.
Now, the police have both Bansode and Rupesh behind bars.
Sunil Bansode, a key associate of gangster Gaja Marne, was arrested by Pune police after being on the run for four years.
