Mumbai:The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which is investigating the recent seizure of explosives and arms in the state, has arrested one more person from Ghatkopar here, an official said on Saturday.
Avinash Pawar (30) was arrested on Friday night and was on Saturday produced before a special court, which remanded him in ATS custody till August 31, the official said. Pawar, a worker with the Mazagoan Docks Ltd, is allegedly linked to a radical Hindu group, he said.
He was involved in the conspiracy to carry out blasts and other terror activities in the state with Vaibhav Raut, Sharad Kalaskar, Sudhanwa Gondhalekar and Shrikant Pangarkar, who were earlier arrested in the case, according to the ATS.
The ATS has seized a CPU from Pawar’s house and a mobile phone, which was used by him, the official said. On August 10, the ATS had arrested Raut (40), who ran the “Hindu Govansh Raksha Samiti”, a little-known pro-cow protection outfit, at Nallasopara in Palghar district. (PTI)
