An FIR has
been lodged against the father of NCP corporator from Turbhe for reportedly
giving false information about operating a quarry.
Turbhe MIDC
police have registered a complaint against Amrut Medkar (46) after his step
brother, Rajesh Medkar, accused him of taking possession of a stone quarry,
which their late father used to operate.
The accused,
who is the father of Turbhe corporator Amit Medkar, had been charged for
cheating and giving false evidence. "Further inquiry is on to study the
affidavits he submitted to Cidco, in order to gain control of the quarry,"
said an officer from Turbhe MIDC police station.
The
complainant stated that after their father passed away in 2001, Amrut
fraudulently took control of the stone quarry in Bonsari village by stating in
his affidavit that he is the sole heir. Rajesh recently discovered the fraud
through RTI.
He filed a
case at the Belapur-based Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court and
provided the relevant documents. The court then ordered the police to register
the FIR and investigate the matter. Rajesh said that by taking sole charge of
the quarry, the accused has cheated him and other siblings of the profits
earned through the quarry work.
When
contacted Amit Medkar, he said, "What can I say? This case concerns my
father, not me."
