In the wake of gangster Ravi Pujari's arrest, the Mumbai Police have claimed that a number of seasoned members of powerful gangs allegedly "ruling the city" have been arrested by them in the last five years while some gangs have also been dismantled permanently.

Details of police action on 13 dons and their associates active for over two decades were procured by mid-day to ascertain the claim. According to the police, action against gangsters began gaining momentum after Mumbai got its current police commissioner who had a wide experience of working with the Intelligence Bureau.
