A Mantralaya employee, Sudhakar Gaikwad (55), has been arrested for his alleged role in the cheating of a senior citizen of Rs 62 lakh.
Gaikwad and another accused, Shrinivas Suryavanshi (27), were arrested on June 21. Five others were nabbed earlier for the con. after promising him a flat under the chief minister's quota for the latter's physically challenged son.
The accused offered the senior citizen, S Irani (60), whose son is physically challenged, a flat at Andheri (W) under the CM's 10% quota for the disabled. The others arrested are ATS officer Dilip Bhosle, Jagdeepsingh Atra, Anil Purohit, Irani's family friend Rajesh Upadhyaya and his aide Sanjay Mehta.
Gaikwad and Suryavanshi have been sent to police custody till July 1. - Nitasha Natu"Irani's family friend, Rajesh Upadhyaya, is one of the accused. He was aware that Irani's son was physically challenged and passed the information to his associates. Upadhyaya and his aide, Sanjay Mehta, were the first to approach Irani with the offer. They accepted an initial installment of Rs 10 lakh from him in January," said an official from the Meghwadi police station.
Upadhyaya and Mehta introduced Irani to Bhosle, who claimed to have retired from the ATS. He also claimed to be the current security in-charge of the Chief Minister. After receiving an allotment letter through the accused, Irani paid Rs 35 lakh in two installments. In March, Bhosle instructed Irani to give a demand draft of Rs 17 lakh, which the senior citizen did.
But when the accused wouldn't hand over the keys to the flat to Irani, the latter decided to visit the Collector's office for a check. He carried the acknowledgement and order copy that the accused had given him. But at the Collector's office, he discovered that no such property scheme existed
"Bhosle told us, during interrogation, that the forged papers had been prepared and given to him by Gaikwad," a police officer said. "Bhosle was introduced to the rest of the accused by Suryavanshi. Suryavanshi boasted of having contacts in Mantralaya and was to be paid a commission of 5% of the cash amount conned from Irani.
Both, Gaikwad and Suryavanshi, have been remanded to police custody till July 1.
The others arrested in the case earlier were Jagdeepsingh Atra and Anil Purohit. The total arrests in the case now stand at seven.
