Mumbai. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s troubles are increasing in the Shikhar Bank scam case. Anna Hazare has challenged the clean chit given by Mumbai Police in this case by filing an injunction petition in the Sessions Court, which has been accepted by the court. This petition will be heard on June 29.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s troubles are likely to increase in the Shikhar Bank scam case, as senior social activist Anna Hazare has objected to the additional closure report filed by the Financial Crimes Branch. The Sessions Court has accepted his objection and given him time to file a protest petition. The matter will be heard on June 29.
Senior social activists Anna Hazare and Manikrao Jadhav objected to this closure report and filed a petition for injunction in the court, which was heard in the Sessions Court. Shikhar Bank (Shikhar Bank scam) had disbursed loans worth more than Rs 25 thousand crores to the state’s cooperative sugar mills, cooperative cotton mills, factories and other companies between 2005 and 2010. Later it was found out that all these loans were given in an incorrect manner.
Anna Hazare had complained about this matter to Mumbai Police and the police had investigated. After this, the police filed a chargesheet against Shikhar Bank scam director Ajit Pawar and 70 others, but a few months ago the Financial Crimes Branch of the police filed an additional closure report in the court. The Financial Crimes Branch has said in the closure report that no evidence of any loss to the bank was found in connection with the loan disbursement and the sale of the sugar factory.
