K P Gosavi, one of the nine independent witnesses of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the Aryan Khan drugs case tried to surrender at the Madiyaon police station in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh but was not allowed to do so as the case is not with them.

As per latest reports, Pune Police will leave for Lucknow soon and seek Gosavi's custody if he surrenders before Lucknow Police.

Reportedly, he wanted to surrender at the Madiyaon police station because it is in "close proximity to his current location."

Gosavi, a private investigator in the Aryan Khan drugs case came in the spotlight after his selfie with Aryan Khan went viral. It was later found out that he is an absconder in a cheating case registered with Pune Police.

His name was played up again when another NCB witness and his alleged bodyguard Prabhakar Sail claimed that he saw Gosavi meeting with Shah Rukh Khan's manager in connection with a payoff the day Aryan Khan was arrested.

In a telephonic conversation with mid-day, Gosavi said that he is getting threat calls.

"They fabricated stories and are changing directions (of probe). It's I who was being threatened that I led to his (Aryan Khan's) arrest," he told news agency ANI.
