The Punjab police had launched a major manhunt to find Jadhav and Mahakal. Information regarding them had been circulated to all STs, railway stations and airports with their photographs to prevent them from fleeing the country, said a top official from Pune Rural police.

Police have also arrested some youths for questioning on suspicion of being in touch with Jadhav.

However, Siddhesh Kamble alias Mahakal had already been arrested last week by the police in connection with the Moosewala murder case under MCOCA.

Moosewala was shot dead on May 29 in Jawaharke village in Mansa district of Punjab. (UNI)
