In connection with the protest outside Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar's residence, the Mumbai police have arrested Sandip Giridhar Godbole from Nagpur. Godbole was a mechanic with the MSRTC and was suspended by the MSRTC recently. With this, a total of 116 people arrested so far after a group of over 100 striking employees of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) staged a protest outside 'Silver Oak', Pawar's residence in the south Mumbai on April 8.

Meanwhile, police have got hold of a call record between suspended MSRTC Abhishek Patil and arrested Sandip Giridhar Godbole just before the protest outside Pawar's residence, police said. According to the call, they were planning to launch a protest outside Pawar's residence.
