Hiren Bhagat alias Romoi Bhagat, who has links with bureaucrats and politicians, was presented before the Killa court on Tuesday, where his crime branch custody was extended till February 12 for further investigation. The crime branch unit 9 team, led by Senior Police Inspector Daya Nayak, informed the court that during the arrest and subsequent search, CCTV footage of Bhagat’s residential premises revealed that the house help had left with six large suitcases, which were later traced. Upon opening the bags, the officers discovered foreign weapons, 150 live bullets, jewellery, Indian and foreign currency, bank locker keys, and luxury watches.
Additionally, one travel bag contained documents related to major corporate companies, including confidential papers, complaints, copies of FIRs, and agreements.
