Pune Police Secure Interpol Blue Corner Notice for Fugitive Nilesh Ghaywal

Investigators are widening the probe with a new SIM card fraud case as they scrutinize the passport trail and potential official lapses.

Overview

  • Police say Ghaywal fled India and are using the Blue Corner Notice to gather his location details, with leads pointing to travel through London to Switzerland.
  • Deputy Commissioner of Police Nikhil Pingle confirmed formal communication with central agencies to route the request through Interpol.
  • A fresh FIR in Kothrud alleges Ghaywal illegally obtained and used a complainant’s SIM card since 2020 under cheating and IT laws.
  • MCOCA was invoked against Ghaywal and eight associates after separate September 17 attacks in Pune’s Kothrud area, with some gang members arrested.
  • A separate case probes an allegedly illegal tatkal passport tied to a wrong address and a 2022 court order to surrender the passport that was ignored, as the state leadership signals action against any officials found at fault.
