MUMBAI: The city crime branch on Monday arrested Mohammed Rafiq Sardar Choudhary (37) who allegedly accompanied the shooters and paid them Rs 1 lakh in the case of firing at actor Salman Khan's house.
Choudhary, who has a dairy in Kurla, was picked up from his hometown in Nagaur in
Rajasthan.
The Anti Extortion Cell (AEC) of the city crime branch produced Choudhary before the MCOCA court which remanded him to police custody.
While seeking Choudhary's custody, police said that he was in direct contact with Bishnoi gang members Rohit Godara and Canada-based Anmol Bishnoi through VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). "Godara contacted Choudhary on behalf of Anmol Bishnoi and asked him to give logistic support to the two shooters. He accompanied the two shooters, Vikas Gupta and Sagar Pal, to Panvel,'' said an officer.
