As many as 10 members of the gang were arrested under the MCOCA last year. Bachchansingh Bhond is one of them and is currently lodged in the Yerwada Central Prison. Four offences were registered against him at the Kondhwa Police Station. He sought bail at the Cantonment Court, where accused Santoshkumar Telang faked his identity and attached a fake ration card, a copy of 7/12 extracts with the bail application filed through Adv Jadhav.
