Pune Court Acquits Gangster Nilesh Ghaywal and Five Others in 2019-2020 Cases
A special MCOCA court in Pune acquitted gangster Nilesh Ghaywal and five others in separate cases involving alleged jeep theft in 2019 and extortion in 2020. The court cited lack of evidence, delayed complaints, and hostile witnesses who did not support prosecution claims. Ghaywal, currently absconding abroad and facing other charges, along with Santosh Dhumal, Musa Sheikh, Akshay Gogawale, Vipul Majhire, and Kunal Kandhare, were cleared due to insufficient proof and inconsistencies in testimonies.
