Nagpur, 28/3: Amid back-to-back threats and extortion calls to Union Road Transport and Highways Minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari’s office in Nagpur, the Maharashtra police have arrested a convict from Hindalga jail in Belagavi in neighbouring Karnataka.
The convict, identified as Jayesh Pujari alias Jayesh Kantha, was taken into custody from the jail and brought to Nagpur in a flight, officials said.
On 14 January, Gadkari’s PR office opposite Orange City Hospital in Nagpur received a threat call which was purportedly made by one Jayesh Pujari. However, he had denied his involvement in the calls – which sought Rs 100 crore from Gadkari.
