On 23 August, three persons had opened fire outside the residence of film producer Ali Morani in suburban Juhu. Two days later, Pujari had allegedly called superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s production house Red Chillies and passed on a message to the actor. Pujari told Khan’s staff to tell the actor to stay away from Morani, police had earlier said. The gangster is known to make calls to builders and film personalities. PTI
