Mumbai: Bombay HC on Thursday asked Mumbai police to take to “a logical conclusion” in four weeks their investigation into an FIR lodged based on a complaint by former NCB officer Sameer Wankhede against former minister Nawab Malik and submit probe papers by the next hearing on Jan 16.
Police told the bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Shivkumar G Dige that Section 3(1)(q) and (r) (giving false information and insulting an SC/ST member) of SC/ST Act were added against Malik and the probe is underway. According to the complaint, Malik had alleged that Wankhede wasn’t an SC.
Wankhede filed a petition recently saying police didn’t conduct a probe or file a chargesheet. tnn
