After Shiv Sena leader Sachin Sawant was shot dead in Malad’s Kurar village, the police have arrested four people from Uttar Pradesh. Of the four arrested, two of them are identified as sharpshooters.

On April 23, 2018, around 9:30 at night, Sawant was riding on a two-wheeler with his friend and he took four bullets in the firing. Sawant was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital – Shatabdi Hospital – but he was declared dead.

Sanjay Sawant, brother of the late Shiv Sena leader, informed the media that the attack might be over the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project. The development project was underway in Kurar Village. Earlier in 2009, Sachin Sawant was attacked but he managed to escape from getting killed but no one was arrested after the attack.
