New Delhi: Kiran Gosavi, an independent witness of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the drugs-on-cruise case involving Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, was on Thursday sent to eight-day police custody by a Pune court in connection with a 2018 cheating case registered against him in Maharashtra.

Earlier in the day, Pune Police Commissioner Amitabh Gupta said Gosavi has been arrested in connection with the 2018 cheating case registered against him.

“There was a case of cheating in Pune city in 2018 in which Gosavi was the main accused,” the official said, adding a chargesheet in the case was filed in 2019.

“Though Gosavi had earlier spoken about surrendering, he never did so,” Gupta said, PTI reported.

The top cop further said Gosavi, who was arrested from a lodge in Katraj area by the Pune Police at 3 a.m., used to stay in hotels in the name of Sachin Patil, while claiming he was working with an organisation.

Gosavi, according to police, had been moving to various locations in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana while on the run.

Gosavi’s photos and videos with Aryan Khan went viral on social media after the NCB’s raid on the cruise ship off the Mumbai coast earlier on October 2.

The Pune Police Commissioner said they recently found a photograph of the accused on social media, adding they were since then searching for him with teams dispatched to various places.

“We were chasing him since the last 10 days. He was roaming around various places like Lucknow, Hyderabad in Telangana, Fatehpur, Jalgaon, Mumbai, Panvel, Lonavala,” Gupta said, adding the Pune Police will investigate if there are any other cases against him in the city.

Gupta said Chinmay Deshmukh, the victim in the 2018 cheating case, has again contacted the Pune Police and claimed that he has been threatened by the accused.

Gupta further said the police will register another case against Gosavi if Deshmukh lodges a complaint.
