The Bombay High Court today upheld the conviction and life imprisonment granted to gangster Arun Gawli for the murder of Shiv Sena corporator Kamlakar Jamsandekar under the tough Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.

Judges BP Dharmadhikari and Swapna Joshi, who heard Gawli’s appeal against his conviction by a special MCOCA court in 2012, also upheld the sentence against four others who were also convicted with the gangster. However, their conviction under the MCOCA was quashed by the High Court.

Jamsandekar was shot dead in March 2007 in Mumbai’s suburb of Ghatkopar. According to the chargesheet filed in the case, Gawli was paid Rs 30 lakh by Sahebrao Bhintade and Bala Surve, who were Jamsandekar’s business and political rivals.

Gawli, who became an MLA in 2004, was arrested in May 2008 and has been in jail since. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
