Aryan Khan Case ‘Witness’, Wanted In Cheating Case, Detained In Pune
Aryan Khan case: Kiran Gosavi, against whom a lookout notice is out, had said he wanted to surrender to the Uttar Pradesh Police as he felt “threatened” in Maharashtra
A controversial “independent witness” of the narcotics agency that is investigating the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case has been detained in Pune, three days after he claimed he would surrender at a police station in Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow.
Kiran Gosavi, against whom a lookout notice was issued over a cheating case in 2018, had said he wanted to surrender to the Uttar Pradesh Police as he felt “threatened” in Maharashtra. The Lucknow Police later refuted the claims of Mr Gosavi trying to surrender to them.
A private investigator, Mr Gosavi was present during the cruise ship raid earlier this month and later at the Narcotics Control Bureau or NCB office with Aryan Khan. His selfie and videos with Aryan Khan at both places indicated that he had unlimited access to the son of Shah Rukh Khan.
It fuelled questions from Maharashtra’s ruling alliance about the anti-drugs agency’s investigation. Several leaders questioned why an “independent witness” of the agency should be present at the raid and its office and take selfies with the high-profile accused.
On Sunday last, a man claiming to be Mr Gosavi’s personal bodyguard made allegations of bribery against him.
