Pune Police File Passport-Fraud Case After Ammo Seized at Fugitive Ghaywal’s Home

Investigators froze ten bank accounts, with land papers from the raid prompting a wider assets inquiry.

Overview

  • Police registered a fresh FIR alleging fraudulent passport procurement under cheating, forgery, Passport Act and Aadhaar Act provisions, alongside an Arms Act case after the raid.
  • A court-sanctioned search of the Kothrud residence recovered two live rounds, four empty shells, bank passbooks and debit cards, gold ornaments, cash and roughly 40–45 land and plotting documents.
  • Officials say documents include papers tied to windmill projects in Marathwada, leading to scrutiny for possible forcible land grabs and broader property tracing.
  • The Economic Offences Wing has frozen about ten bank accounts linked to Ghaywal and family members holding roughly Rs 38–40 lakh, and police have seized an SUV and three motorcycles.
  • Ghaywal remains untraced after reportedly leaving India, with police suspecting travel to London and Switzerland, a lookout notice issued and MCOCA already invoked in the September attack cases.
