Pune/Mumbai, June 8

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, in the custody of the Delhi Police, is the mastermind in the Moosewala murder case, Special Commissioner of Police HS Dhaliwal said on Wednesday. The Maharastra police have, meanwhile, arrested Siddhesh Hiraman Kamble, alias Mahakal, in connection with the killing while his aide Santosh Jadhav, also from Pune, has been identified as one of the shooters.

Mahakal, against whom MCOCA was invoked, was wanted by the Pune (Rural) police for allegedly sheltering Jadhav, against whom a murder case was filed in Pune district in 2021. Maharashtra ADG (Law & Order) KK Sarangal said Mahakal was part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. “Mahakal and Jadhav were aware of the Sidhu Moosewala murder conspiracy,” he said.
