Apart from Udaykant, the police also arrested his brother Suryakant Ranoji Andekar (45) alias Bandu, a history-sheeter. Before the brothers were released, they were booked under several sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
Confirming their arrests, Sanjay Bhamburde, SI of Samarth police station, said, "The arrests were made under several sections of the CrPC."u00a0 As per police records, both Bandu and Udaykant were earlier booked for their alleged involvement in a 2010 shootout case in which Somnath Baban Padwal alias Pappu was grievously injured. The court acquitted them last December, as it couldn't be proved that the brothers were present at the spot when the firing took place.u00a0
