A person named Mayur Shinde, who is said to be close to the Raut family, and is also an NCP worker has been arrested. "The accused is also a political activist and has a close association with local leaders from the eastern suburbs of the city. His social media profile also shows his pictures and videos with MLA Sunil Raut," he added. He has been remanded in police custody till June 19.
