Notorious criminal Ashraf Ghulam Rasool Patel alias Tatya Patel has finally fallen into the police's net after an eight-month-long chase. The Bollywood film, Ghatak (1996), is based on his life.
Tatya was wanted for attempt to murder, after a set a woman on fire in a land-grabbing case last year. This was while the history-sheeter was on bail during an MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) case.
Tatya was arrested in Andheri West by the Thane rural crime branch's Kashimira unit on Thursday evening. Searching for him was a challenging task, as people still live in terror of Tatya. He had earlier been booked in various serious crimes, and 25-30 cases are still pending in court.
Based on a tip-off, the crime branch managed to nab him in Versova. His son is still absconding, said sources. Inspector Pramod Badakh, from the Kashimira unit, said, "He was arrested at Yari Road in Versova, on the basis of a tip-off and under the guidance of SP Mahesh Patil."
