KOCHI: The Kochi city police approached Interpol seeking the extradition of Ravi Pujari, the notorious gangster of Mumbari, arrested in Senegal. A letter was sent asserting that he is an accused in the Kochi beauty parlour gunshot case and that he is needed for collecting evidence. However, there is no clarity in extraditing him to India.

Gun shots were fired at actress Leena Maria Paul’s beauty parlour on December 15. After firing the shots, a two-member team had dropped a paper containing the name of Pujari. The actress had informed police that Pujari had called her demanding an amount of Rs 25 crore.

The dialogues were recorded and on examination it was found to be that of Pujari’s sound. A probe was conducted to trace the criminal teams assigned for the job. In the meanwhile, Pujari was arrested in Africa in another case. The Kochi Police is intervening at a time when RAW and Intelligence Bureau are trying to extradite him to India.
