Mohol, a history-sheeter with cases of kidnapping, attempt to murder and murder registered against his name, was shot at by three persons near his house in Sutardara in the Kothrud area on January 5. He died hours later in a hospital from bullet wounds in the chest and shoulder.
Pune Police's crime branch was hot on the trail of the accused persons and received information that they were in Navi Mumbai, the official said.
