Karnataka Police team in Senegal to get gangster Ravi Pujari

Mumbai: A team from Karnataka Police is in Senegal for completing the extradition process of gangster Ravi Pujari. Other than Karnataka police, R&AW officers are also assisting the police team, sources in the know of development told ET.

This after the Supreme Court of Senegal rejected plea filed by underworld don Ravi Pujari against his extradition/ deportation to India. Pujari has exhausted a legal option.

Pujari has an Interpol red corner notice issued against him and faces at least 200 cases in India, including for extortion and murder. He also faces dozens of cases for threatening Bollywood and Sandalwood stars and a prominent industrialist. Sources say he was living under the assumed name of Anthony Fernandes and claimed to be a Burkina Faso citizen.
