Latur, October 20 – Gujarat Police have arrested dismissed sub-inspector Ranjeet Kasle from Maharashtra’s Latur district in connection with a robbery case registered against him in Surat, officials confirmed on Monday.
As per agency report, Kasle was taken into custody on Sunday night in a joint operation. Kasle had been dismissed from service by the Maharashtra government a few months ago after allegations surfaced that he had been offered a contract to kill Valmik Karad, the prime suspect in the Beed sarpanch murder case last year.
Inspector Sudhakar of the Crime Branch informed that a robbery case against Kasle was registered at Pal Police Station near Surat, prompting a Gujarat Police team to travel to Latur. The arrest took place around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Another official added that during interrogation, other suspects arrested in the Surat case had pointed to Kasle’s alleged involvement in assisting the gang responsible for the robbery, leading to his subsequent arrest.
