Mangaluru, Feb 25: Notorious gangster Ravi Poojary,
who has been extradited to India from Senegal, has 34 cases registered against him within the city police commissionerate.
Now in Bengaluru police custody for interrogation in connection with several cases there, Poojary faces cases relating to murder, murder attempt, extortion and threat calls in the city, police sources said.
Sources said the city police are trying to get Pujari for interrogation though it would take a while as the court has allowed Bengaluru police to keep him in custody for questioning and evidence taking for 15 days.

All the cases against Poojary in the city were registered between 2007 and 2018.
Cases involving murder, death threats and shootouts are among the cases to be investigated, the sources said.
A total of 28 cases of death threat calls, one of murder, three of shootouts, one of abduction and a case of funding his associates lodged in prison are the crimes being probed by the city police.
The cases are now pending in courts at different stages of trial.
Cases of making threat calls to businessmen using his associates demanding protection money have been registered at Moodbidri, Kavoor, Kadri, Konaje, Barke and Urwa police stations.
Some of his associates were imprisoned in 2012 in connection with threat calls to a businessman from Kinnigoli.
The case relating to providing them money while in prison was also registered in the same year.
