The British High Commission has verified that fugitive gangster Nilesh Ghaywal is currently in London on a visitor visa. Authorities have taken note of the passport revocation by Indian officials, raising questions about how Ghaywal succeeded in leaving India.

Pune police, who have been after Ghaywal due to his involvement in serious criminal charges including murder and extortion, are coordinating with international bodies such as Interpol to facilitate his capture. With a blue corner notice issued, their efforts now focus on gaining his deportation from the UK.

There is heightened scrutiny on the processes that allowed Ghaywal to enter the UK and remain there. As further investigations are taking place, the Pune authorities are also attempting to gather details concerning his stay and connections in the UK, including information about his son’s educational background and potential financial support.
