Days after release from jail, history-sheeter held as aides take out 'welcome procession' amid pandemic
Ten days after he walked out of a prison on being granted bail, a history-sheeter was arrested in Mumbai after some of his supporters gathered and took out a procession to "welcome" him despite the coronavirus-induced restrictions in place, a police official said on Saturday.
The procession was taken out on Friday evening near Bainganwadi Skywalk bridge at Deonar in the city, following which history-sheeter Shahabuddin Munvar Ali Idrisi alias Babu Chaddi (43) and his two aides were arrested, he said. Idrisi has a criminal record and he has been booked in at least 21 cases, including under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), the official said, adding that he had walked out of the Taloja central prison in Navi Mumbai on June 23.
