Top builder from Pune detained at Mumbai airport

Pune: Even as the news of city-based prominent builder Avinash Bhosale being detained and interrogated at the Mumbai airport trickled in on Sunday morning, the local builders community was taken by complete surprise.
Bhosale was reportedly being questioned by directorate of revenue intelligence (DRI) sleuths on charges of attempting to sneak in foreign currency on his arrival from London at Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport on Saturday night.
Bhosale was not contactable, but an employee at his residence, who picked up his cellphone on Sunday afternoon, told The Indian Express that they are unaware about any news of his detention. “We have not heard anything,” said Satyen Dravadian, adding that the entire family was away from home. “Avinash Bhosale is in a meeting,” he said.
From a small time builder to one of the biggest developers in Pune in less than a decade, Avinash Bhosale’s meteoric rise is unparalleled since he arrived on the city’s construction scene in 1980s and founded the Avinash Bhosale Group.
