Fugitive underworld don Ravi Pujari had plotted to kill Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and his family members earlier too, but his plans could not materialise, police said on Tuesday.
This was revealed during interrogation of 13 members of Pujari’s gang who have been arrested for allegedly conspiring to kill Bhatt and his family members. They were nabbed between Saturday and on Monday.
Some of them were also involved in firing outside the residence of Bollywood producer-brothers Karim and Ali Morani on 23 August, police had said on Monday.
Meanwhile, security provided to Mahesh Bhatt’s family has been stepped up after police uncovered the latest plot. ‘During interrogation, it emerged it was not for the first time the gang members had gathered outside Bhatt’s office to target him on Saturday. The shooters had gone there two-three times in the past two months,’ police said.
