The Karnataka court on Friday ordered Bengaluru police to give the custody of gangster Ravi Pujari to Mumbai Crime Branch. In the next two to three days, a team of crime branch officials will take Pujari into custody. The crime branch had sought the gangster's custody in connection with the firing incident that took place at Vile Parle's Gajalee restaurant.

In October 2016, a man fired at the counter of Gajalee restaurant in Vile Parle and threatened the hotel manager to call Pujari and talk to him in order to save his life. During the investigation of the case, the Anti-extortion Cell (AEC) arrested seven accused and Pujari was a wanted accused.
