During Navratri, Mumbai traditionally hosts garba events. Retired ACP Suresh Valishetti, involved in the 1993 Mumbai blasts investigation, revealed that underworld figures once organized garba pandals across Mumbai. These pandals were set up through intermediaries to obtain police permits, though authorities monitored them closely. Wanted criminals avoided these events to evade arrest, contrary to popular belief.
