Millionaire given bail, DRI livid

Mumbai /Pune: Ducking from the probing flashes of the media at the Azad Maidan police station in Mumbai on Sunday evening, millionaire builder Avinash Bhosale was preparing for the worst.
Bhonsle claimed a tax refund at the Heathrow airport saying he would pay the same in India. When he reached Mumbai he tried to walk through the green channel and avoid customs with Rs 47 lakh in travellers cheques and five diamond studded watches.
He was arrested by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) early on Sunday morning, not knowing that authorities in London had tipped off Mumbai about him.
DRI officials then sent Bhosale, their biggest catch in months, to the Azad Maidan police station, for the night. When they turned up on Monday, Bhosale was gone, given bail late on Sunday night.
The DRI now wants to know why it was not told that Bhosale was getting bailed out and what the hurry was.
