On December 18, 2021, Ganesh Mote, 21, shot and killed career criminal Yogesh Jagtap. Soon after, Mote uploaded a short video as an Instagram post. It was from the song “Tapka re tapka, ek aur tapka” from the 1997 film, Mahaanta.
To those unaware of Pimpri Chinchwad’s criminal underbelly, Mote’s post would have been just a throwback to ’90s’ Bollywood, but there was more to the post than a reminder of actor Sanjay Dutt’s questionable dancing skills. It was a declaration and a flex of power on Mote’s part.
