Pujari, who had been on the run for the past 15 years, was wanted in several cases of extortion in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. He was initially associated with Chhota Rajan and Ravi Pujari but parted ways with them in 2011 and formed his own gang, after which he started making extortion calls to businessmen.
Due to a rise in extortion cases, the local authorities approached the Interpol through the CBI and a red corner notice was issued against him.
