Arun Gawli steps out of Nagpur Central Prison SC grants bail
Mumbai’s notorious don-turned-neta Arun Gawli also called ‘Daddy’ stepped out of Nagpur Central Prison on Wednesday after Supreme Court granted him bail in the 2007 murder case of Sena corporator Kamlakar Jamsandekar.
After serving over 17 years in a high-security cell, including nine-and-half years in Nagpur Central Jail, the 76-year-old gangster shared a poignant wish with a senior jailor to reconnect with his family and play with his grandchildren, a stark contrast to his fearsome reputation in Mumbai’s criminal underbelly.
Gawli confided to one of the senior prison officials, his voice heavy with regret, that he missed watching his children grow and now wanted to spend time grandchildren.
The release was steeped in drama with Nagpur Police and prison guards orchestrating a fortified security to ensure Gawli’s safe exit. Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) personnel and various intelligence units were present to pick up concealed clues.
Amidst dodging a throng of media waiting at the jail gates, Gawli was whisked away to Nagpur airport under heavy escort, arriving three hours early for his Mumbai-bound flight.
