To evade authorities, he left his residence in one car, instructing his chauffer to head towards Mumbai, while he directed another driver to head for Goa in a separate vehicle. Along the route to Mumbai, he exiled the car and switched to a friend’s vehicle to proceed towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, formally known as Aurangabad.
