Rohida-associate Ambrose sent to judicial custody

Though no concrete evidence was found during the course of Pawar8217;s interrogations regarding assault on Sotta, he reportedly told the police that he had accompanied Rohida when he came to Vadodara on August 13.

The notorious underworld gangster Pawar, who is suffering from serious respiratory trouble caused by bullet injuries he sustained during police encounter in Thane on August 18, also admitted of his complicity in two attempts on the life of Kapchi in 1993. Incidentally, the Auguat 18 encounter with the police also proved to be fatal for Raju Rohida.

Though all the six accused in the two cases were arrested and later on acquitted by the court due to lack of evidence, Pawar had been absconding. A fresh chargesheet would now be filed against Ambrose Pawar and the case against him will be revived, the police said.
