Immigration authorities at the international airport in Mumbai detained a woman and her son suspecting them to be the wife and the son of fugitive gangster Ravi Pujari, police said today.

Sridevi Santosh Pujari was intercepted as a Look-out Circular with the same name had been issued by Mangalore Police in an extortion case filed in 2012. She was accompanied by her son Aryan and they were scheduled to take a flight to Abu Dhabi last night, they said. LOC is usually issued to trace absconding criminals.

As per Mangalore Police records, Ravi Pujari and his wife Sridevi are wanted in the case. Incidentally, Ravi Pujari's son's name is also Aryan. "Immigration authorities intercepted the lady and her son saying an LOC was issued against her.

Subsequently, Mangalore Police were alerted. The duo was scheduled to take a flight to Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, the immigration authorities handed them over to the Sahar Airport Police here," said a police officer.
