Pune hit and run case: Porsche owner's family's connection with Chhota Rajan comes to light

The family of the accused in the Pune hit and run case reportedly once sought help from an underworld don in a property dispute.

According to a report by the Pune Mirror, the grandfather of the accused in the Pune accident had previously sought assistance from don Chhota Rajan in a property dispute.

The report states that the grandfather, Surendra Kumar Agarwal, once offered Chhota Rajan a deal to kill then-corporator Ajay Bhosale.

During an election campaign, bullets were fired at Bhosale's car, injuring his driver, according to the report.

The case was later transferred to the CBI, which revealed a property dispute between Surendra Kumar Agarwal and Ram Kumar Agarwal as the reason. The Pune Mirror report states that Surendra wanted Bhosale to intervene in the matter, but Bhosale refused. Surendra later approached Rajan to kill Bhosale.
