A Pune connection has been established in the murder of Sidhu Moosewala, whose murder has caused a stir across the country.
The Punjab police had launched a major manhunt to find Jadhav and Mahakal. Information regarding them had been circulated to all STs, railway stations and airports with their photographs to prevent them from fleeing the country, said a top official from Pune Rural police.
