Mumbai, July 26: A police inspector and a constable were today arrested in connection with the alleged fake encounter of Ramnarayan Gupta alias Lakhan Bhaiya, a close aide of gangster Chhota Rajan, after they surrendered before a sessions court here.
Police inspector Dilip Palande and constable Prakash Kadam today surrendered before the sessions court, which had on July 3 issued non-bailable warrants against seven police officers including the duo for their alleged role in the fake encounter case.
“Palande and Kadam were part of the police team that gunned down Gupta. It was Palande who had shot at Gupta,” special public prosecutor R N Mishra said.
Police have so far arrested 11 persons including suspended encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma and senior police inspector Pradeep Suryavanshi in the case.
