Dreaded gangster Suresh Pujari has finally been nabbed after an operation that involved the Mumbai Crime Branch, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad, as well as the Indian Embassy in Phillipines and Phillipines authorities. While the gangster was arrested by Philippines authorities in October following a tip-off by the Mumbai Crime Branch, the process to get him deported took several months with Pujari foiling two attempts to bring him to India.
