A team from the Mumbai Police Crime Branch brought fugitive gangster Santosh Shetty to the city from Bangkok on Friday morning in “a complex and delicate operation”, with top Crime Branch officers promising that they would go after other gangsters running operations in the city from safe havens outside the country.
Shetty, a former aide of gangster Chhota Rajan, was wanted in connection with dozens of serious offences across the country, including the murders of advocate Shahid Azmi and close Rajan aide Farid Tanasha in Mumbai.
According to the Crime Branch, Shetty has now also revealed that he carried out the murder of Bharat Nepali, another former Rajan gang-member and Shetty’s own business partner, in Pattaya in 2010.
“We have successfully conducted an international operation and brought back fugitive gangster Santosh Shetty to face justice in Mumbai. He was brought by officers from the Anti-Extortion Cell early this morning from Bangkok, where he had been seeking refuge in a safe haven. He is one of the most dreaded and wanted criminals in the country. The Crime Branch had been planning and conducting this operation for almost six months,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Himanshu Roy.
