From supplying milk to becoming Mumbai's underworld gangster: All you need to know about Arun Gawli
Mumbai: Now 65-year-old underworld gangster Arun Gawliâs life has been a roller coaster of sorts. The man famous as âDaddyâ in the underworld has seen hide inside boxes, climb up his bathroom window to escape raiding policemen, to providing residents of the infamous Dagdi Chawl a proper place to live which in turn ensured that he stayed safe within.
But Gawli wasnât the known gangster before the 80âs. His father Gulabrao had migrated to Mumbai from Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh in the early 1950s and settled at Dagdi Chawl. But abject poverty had made Gawli drop out of school while he was still in the fifth grade, and take up his familyâs traditional business of supplying milk around Saat Rasta in Mumbai.
