Soon after, a series of offences were registered agaisnt him within a fortnight at Lakadganj, Ambazari, Sonegaon and Tehsil police station.
On the basis of guidlines issued by Commissioner of Police (CP) Dr. Bhushan Kumar Upadhyaya, ACP Crime Kishore Jadhav made a proposal of MCOCA after studying in past criminal records. The proposal was approved by Additional Commissioner of Police (Addl CP) Nilesh Bharne.
Along with Ambekar, a resident of Doshiwadi Bhava, Itwari, Nilesh Kedar, Chandan Choudhary, Juhi Choudhary, Ankit Patel, Ajay Patel, Raju Armarkar, Arvind Patel and four others were booked by the police under MCOCA.
The police produced Ambekar in the court and obtained his 10-days police custody. The police have recovered Rs 1.45 crore from Ambekar so far.
MCOCA was invoked against Ambekar four times in the past. But he was acquitted by court in all the cases. On Tuesday, an offence was registered against Ambekar at Lakadganj police station for extorting Rs 15 lakh from a person who was co-accused in the murder case of Balya Gawande, an arch rival of Ambekar.
Complainant Jaibharat Jaihind Kale (43), a resident of New Subhedar lay-out, Sakkardara, and Ambekar were accused in Balya Gawande murder case. Gawande was killed in year 2017 at Sant Tukaram Nagar. The court had acquitted all the accused including Ambekar and Kale citing loopholes in the investigation by Kalamna police.
“Ambekar told Kale that he had spent Rs one crore in Mantralaya to secure their acquittal. Of them, Rs 15 lakh was borrowed from Raju Armarkar at 3 per cent rate of interest. Ambekar was collecting Rs 45,000 per month from Kale as the interest on the Rs 15 lakh,” said police quoting statement of Kale.
Ambekar and another accused Nilesh Kedar have collected Rs 11.25 lakh Kale so far. They were used to issue death threats to Kale for the money.

The complaint was lodged against Ambekar by Jigar Pareshbhai Patel, a resident of Kapadvanj, District - Kheda, Gujarat with Sitabuldi police on Saturday accusing Ambekar and his accomplices for duping him of Rs five crore and demanding extortion of Rs one crore.
