Court orders issuance of summons against former DGP over inaction on MHADA fraud complaint

MUMBAI: (Mar 30) A sessions court in Mumbai has directed a magistrate to issue summonses to former Maharashtra director general of police Satish Mathur and other senior officers for not registering an FIR against MHADA officials in a complaint of alleged fraud.

After issuing summons, the magistrate has been directed to proceed further against the officers by recording evidence of the complainant and witnesses.

Additional Sessions Judge Mujibodeen S Shaikh, earlier this month, had overturned a magistrate court order that dismissed a complaint against former top brass of the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB), including its then head Mathur.
