The Wadala police busted an oil mafia and arrested two members of a gang while they were decanting an oil tanker near the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited parking area in Wadala on Tuesday.

According to the police, the arrested accused have been identified as the mastermind Shakeel Ahmed Shaikh, 33, and Deepak Kumar Rawat, 30. A police officer said Shaikh was on their radar for the past year. "Shaikh was always accompanied by about two dozen of his henchmen, who would alert him whenever our teams reached to arrest him," said a senior police officer.
