An officer from Khadki police station said, “Following the arrest of Borude, we started probing various angles and pieced together a sequence of events. Examination of CCTV camera footage and other technical leads revealed Borude’s brother-in-law, Ravindra Ramesh Gore, who is the husband of Borude’s wife’s cousin, had in fact planted the cartridges in Borude’s scooter. Gore, who had access to the cartridges, had stolen them from the AFK.”

The officer said that Gore had been placed under arrest over a week ago and the details of the arrest were shared with the media after the completion of investigation in the case. “Gore is currently in custody while Borude has been granted bail. We will seek discharge of Borude from the case by moving an application before the court,” the officer added.
