Pune: A 19-year-old man, identified as Viky Deepak Chavan, was arrested by Hinjawadi police for illegally possessing firearms. Two pistols and four cartridges were seized from Chavan, a resident of Ghotawade in Maval Taluka, Pune. Authorities suspect he has connections to the notorious Sharad Mohol gang.
