An alleged member of the Arun Gawli gang, absconding since 1995, was today nabbed by the Mumbai Crime Branch from Kalyan in neighbouring Thane district.
Suresh Upadhyay (45), a native of Uttar Pradesh, had three murder cases registered against him -- two in suburban Bhandup and one at Ulhasnagar in Thane district.
