Arun Gawli: Mumbai’s gangster-turned-politician — what to know

Arun Gawli is one of the most talked-about figures from Mumbai’s underworld who later moved into politics. He started from a local neighbourhood base and became a powerful presence in parts of central Mumbai. Over the years he built a public profile that mixes crime, charity and local politics, and that combination keeps drawing attention whenever there’s news or a court ruling.

Who is Arun Gawli?

He rose to prominence in the urban gang scene and then shifted gears into public life. Gawli founded a political outfit and contested local elections, creating a rare public image for someone with a criminal background. That shift made him a subject of media coverage, police investigations and lengthy court battles. If you want straight facts: expect reporting on his background, the political moves he made, and the legal cases tied to his name.

People follow his story for several reasons. Some are curious about the criminal history and how it connects to politics. Others watch trials and verdicts because they affect local power dynamics. And local voters often remember his social work in certain neighbourhoods—even as courts consider criminal charges.
