Hande said, "We collected Gosavi's blood, hair, nail and semen samples at the Sassoon General Hospital and sent them to the forensic science laboratory for expert opinion to collect evidence to file a supplementary chargesheet against him."
Gosavi and his two accomplices fled to Nagpur after the gang rape incident. They went their own ways from there. He reached Nashik, where he picked up small-time jobs and stayed for a few days. Later, the accused started to stay at different places between Solapur and Ahmednagar. He continued to change his hideout to evade arrest, Hande added.
Police produced Gosavi before a magisterial court at Wanowrie following the end of his custodial remand on Friday. The court sent him to magisterial custody remand for 14 days, following which he was sent to the Yerawada Central Prison.
The court reserved the right of police to seek his custodial interrogation as per provisions of various sections of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.

'They had nothing': Donald Trump questions why Democrats didn't release Epstein files if it is 'smoking gun'- Is US President planning to publish it?
US President Donald Trump on Friday questioned why Democrats, during their control of the Senate and White House, failed to disclose the Jeffrey Epstein-related files if it is a "smoking gun". "If there was a 'smoking gun' on Epstein, why didn't the Dems, who controlled the 'files' for four years, and had [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland and [ex-prosecutor Maureen] Comey in charge, use it," Trump posted on Truth Social. "BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!" he continued. This statement followed his instruction to Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony in the Epstein case. This decision came after both Trump supporters and Democrats pressed for additional information about the investigation. "Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein , I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," Trump announced on Truth Social Thursday evening. "This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!" On platform X, Bondi confirmed the justice department would "move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Trump's supporters have advocated for additional document releases since last week when the Justice Department and FBI issued a joint memo stating Epstein's 2019 death was self-inflicted and that no "client list" existed. The directive to Bondi was issued shortly before The Wall Street Journal published details about an alleged letter Trump supposedly wrote for Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003. According to the Journal, the letter was typed within a naked woman's outline and concluded with "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Trump strongly refuted the Journal's report, announcing legal action. "President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly," he stated online. "The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don't even exist."

But at those events, they used to convince people to invest in real estate projects that never existed. "They will make you believe that they are very successful businesspeople," alleged fraud victim Terry Parvaga told CBS News. "But they will take every single penny you have." The investigation into the Mukherjees began nearly two years ago when Euless Police detective Brian Brennan agreed to take on the case after several complaints from victims were dismissed as civil disputes.

Sarkar also allegedly mocked Kannada cuisine and culture, calling it 'natak' (drama) and questioned its status.
