During his interrogation, Kale told police that he had arrived from Pune with a friend who, he claimed, was a political party worker.
“Kale was carrying a few clothes in a bag, which also contained Rs 38,000 cash. He claimed he had purchased the pistol from a man in UP and had kept it in the car to show off to his friends and other people in Pune. He claimed he had purchased the car recently and had got the registration number but was waiting to get a number plate with a fancy number,” said a police officer.
