The Manpada police in Dombivli has arrested an individual for putting up banners containing birthday wishes alongside photos of gangsters.
Officials from the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) removed the banners, and an investigation is being conducted. The accused has been identified as Sanjay Nikumbh.
According to the police, on Monday morning, banners appeared on Kalyan-Shil Road, extending birthday wishes to Sachin Bhai Khupse. The banners bore the organization name “Dayavan Sarkar Maharashtra Rajya” and featured pictures of gangsters Ashwin Naik and Pappu Kalani.
However, once the images of the banners with gangsters circulated on social media, the police, in collaboration with KDMC officials, took immediate action to bring them down.
Subsequent investigations revealed that Sanjay Nikumbh was responsible for putting up the banners, leading to his detention, a police official said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Manpada Division, Sunil Kurade, confirmed the detention, noting that a case has been registered based on the complaint filed by the KDMC official.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to uncover more details surrounding the incident. “We have detained the person who put up the banner with gangster pictures and are further investigating the matter,” added Kurade.
