The Mumbai crime branch on Thursday arrested a history sheeter with nearly 20 cases against him including one under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

The accused identified as Shiva Amogam Shetty (29) was released in January this year after being behind bars for over two years and allegedly was involved in 11 crimes ever since being out on bail. The accused was handed over to the Navi Mumbai Police where several of these cases have been registered.

An officer from Mumbai crime branch (unit VII) said that they had a tip-off about the accused Shiva Armogam Shetty (29), a Kanjurmarg resident, who had stopped reporting to the local police station, one of the conditions set by the special MCOCA court while granting him bail in January this year. The police nabbed him from Kalwa where he was residing with his wife under another identity.

After detaining him and interrogating him, the police found his alleged involvement in 11 cases – since he was released in January this year. Several of these cases were registered in Navi Mumbai following which he was handed over to them. An official said that since his previous cases were in Mumbai, he targeted areas like Thane, Mira Road, Navi Mumbai and Palghar

An official said that Shetty had created a reign of terror in the eastern suburbs and in January 2022, his men had also stabbed two police constables who had been chasing him.

Festive offer

It was in order to reduce his influence that sections of the stringent MCOCA had been applied against him in which it is difficult to secure bail.

“Earlier this year he had been granted bail. While initially for a few months he would report to the local police station following which he stopped coming suddenly. We suspected he was up to no good and when he was not found at his house, we had started looking for him,” said a crime branch officer.
