Sharad Mohol, once a prominent name in Pune’s criminal circles, was killed in a sensational attack that sent shockwaves through the city. His murder, believed to be the result of longstanding gang rivalries and disputes, sparked fears of a violent retaliation and further bloodshed.
Since the incident, Pune Police have been on high alert, closely monitoring the activities of known associates and rival gang members to prevent any escalation.
According to police sources, intelligence had been received about a conspiracy to avenge Sharad Mohol’s murder. The Pune Crime Branch launched a covert operation, deploying informants and surveillance teams to track the movements of suspects linked to the plot.
Omkar More, a known associate of the Mohol gang, emerged as the mastermind behind the planned revenge attack. Police collected crucial evidence, including intercepted communications and tip-offs from informants, which confirmed the existence of the plot. Acting on actionable intelligence, the Crime Branch arrested Omkar More before the plan could be executed, preventing a potential outbreak of violence.
Senior officials from the Pune Crime Branch have confirmed that Omkar More was apprehended with incriminating evidence linking him to the revenge conspiracy. During interrogation, More reportedly revealed the identities of other conspirators and the intended targets.
Police have also seized weapons and communication devices that were to be used in the attack. The investigation is ongoing, with further arrests expected as the network behind the plot is dismantled.
Local leaders and community members have lauded the Crime Branch for their timely action. Many have called for continued vigilance and stricter measures against organized crime to ensure long-term safety and stability in Pune.
Political observers note that the Sharad Mohol case highlights the persistent challenge of gang rivalries in Maharashtra’s urban centers and the need for sustained police efforts to dismantle criminal networks.
With Omkar More’s arrest, the focus now shifts to prosecuting those involved and preventing future gang violence. Police have urged the public to cooperate by reporting suspicious activities and supporting community policing initiatives.
