Another case slapped

A case under sections 395, 397, 452, 506 II and 34 of the Indian Penal Code has been registered. Pradeep Gawli, Tanya Koli, Sada Pawle, Raju Philips, Kalaya Babu, Dayanand Shetty and Hemant Rane are some of the other accused named in the FIR.

Gajare, who was present at the press conference, said her problems started when she refused to surrender her house to Gawli, who was offering to pay Rs 50,000 for it. The house was worth well over Rs 3 lakh then, she said.

She also alleged that Gawli wanted to marry her daughter Sangita. 8220;I turned down his proposal. Gawli used to be always on the run. Besides these gangsters used to abduct businessmen and beat them up8230;I did not want my daughter to marry a gangster,8221; she added. The police were clearly very pleased with the woman for having gathered enough courage after over seven years to raise her voice against the don. 8220;We appreciate the courage shown by this woman. The police will provide adequate security to protect her life in case of any attack from the underworld,8221; said DCP Singh. Gajare said the complaint filed by an Asian Age reporter against Gawli encouraged her to come out in the open against the don.
