A Mumbai Police constable has been booked by the Mumbai unit of the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for allegedly owning possessions disproportionate to his income. According to an ACB official the constable Shrirang Gaikwad owns a property, which is worth a whopping 882% more than his known source of income as a government servant.
Officials said a complaint was received against Gaikwad in late 2015, after which inquiries were initiated. “After preliminary inquiries, we found enough substance in the allegations against Gaikwad, after which we started an open inquiry. All of the assets in his and his wife’s name were evaluated from 2008, when he joined the service, up to 2015, when the complaint against him was first received,” said an ACB officer.
