According to the Mumbai Police, Gadoli had been lured into a trap with the help of his girlfriend Pahuja and killed in a fake encounter

Virendra Kumar alias Binder Gujjar ran a rival gang and allegedly conspired with Haryana Police officials to eliminate Gadoli, Mumbai Police had said

Gujjar was in prison at the time of the encounter, but he hatched the conspiracy with the help of his brother Manoj and roped in Pahuja as honey trap, as per the Mumbai Police

The Bombay High Court had granted bail to Pahuja in June last year, about seven years after she was arrested in connection with the murder of gangster Sandeep Gadoli in a Mumbai hotel on February 7, 2016
