Alright folks, let’s talk about the latest scandal involving a government-approved electrical contractor and a corrupt official. So, this 39-year-old contractor was just trying to do his job and provide electricity to five new buildings through an electric DP setup. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Well, not so fast.
The contractor submitted all the necessary paperwork to Mr. Sawant for approval, but things took a shady turn when Sawant allegedly demanded a hefty bribe of ₹5 lakh to process the file and approve the electricity load for the DP in Manjari. Talk about a major red flag.
After some back and forth negotiations, the bribe amount was eventually settled at ₹2 lakh. But thankfully, this contractor wasn’t about to let corruption slide. He reported the whole shady situation to the ACB’s Pune office, who decided to take matters into their own hands.
In a bold move, the ACB set up a trap and caught Sawant red-handed while accepting the ₹2 lakh as an advance payment. Cue the dramatic music, because things just got real.
Now, the investigation is in full swing, with Police Inspector Virnath Mane leading the charge under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Shirish Sardeshpande and Additional Superintendent Dr. Sheetal Janve. It’s like a real-life detective story unfolding before our eyes.
This whole debacle has shed light on the issue of corruption within MSEDCL and has definitely raised some eyebrows about the integrity of the department’s operations. It’s a reminder that no one is above the law, and that justice will prevail in the end.
So, stay tuned for more updates on this juicy scandal. Who knows what other secrets will come to light as the investigation unfolds? The truth is out there, folks.
