Their pursuit of wanted bookie Anil Jaisinghani wound its way through several cities in Gujarat-from Bardoli to Surat to Vadodara to Kalol but in the end, police nabbed the man, who, they claimed, had been absconding for the past five years. Jaisinghani is wanted in as many as 17 criminal cases.
Mumbai Police had turned the heat on him after Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis who also handles the home portfolio, registered an FIR against Jaisinghani's daughter Aniksha on February 20, for alleged blackmail, intimidation and the offer of a Rs one crore bribe. Later, she was slapped with an extortion charge of Rs 10 cr Aniksha was arrested on March 16 and remanded in police custody.
His daughter's arrest is apparently believed to have shaken up her father, a resident of Ulhasnagar, so much that he called a TV channel and claimed that his daughter was 'innocent'. However, police believe that he is the mastermind who was targeting Amruta, just as he had done in the case of ex-Deputy Police Commissioner Amar Jadhav a few years ago.
