Pune gangster Nilesh Bansilal Ghaywal, who is facing multiple criminal cases, is believed to have illegally obtained a passport and travelled to London, despite receiving a negative address verification report from the Ahilyanagar police. On Friday, the Pune city police issued a look-out circular (LOC) for Ghaywal after discovering that he had gone to London during their investigation into alleged violent attacks on local residents in the Kothrud area of the city by his gang members.

Somnath Gharge, Superintendent of Police (SP), Ahilyanagar, said Ghaywal applied for a Tatkal passport at the regional passport office in Pune in 2019. In his passport application, he mentioned he was a resident of ‘Gauri Ghumat, Anandi Bazar, Maliwada Road, Ahmednagar (now renamed Ahilyanagar)’.
