Shiv Sena chief who owns a Rolls Royce price 8 crores booked for electrical energy theft of Rs 35,000

A Shiv Sena chief and enterprise magnate from Kalyan, Sanjay Gaikwad, who bought a Rolls Royce automobile price Rs 8 crore lately, has been booked by the Kolsewadi police in Kalyan for electrical energy theft of round Rs 35,000.
The FIR was filed based mostly on a criticism registered in opposition to the Shiv Sena chief by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL).
The criticism was registered after the electrical energy division carried out an inspection at one of many building websites belonging to the Shiv Sena chief in March this yr and located electrical energy theft there. Following this, a invoice of Rs 34,840 was despatched to Gaikwad and a penalty of Rs 15,000 was imposed on him. When, even after three months, Gaikwad did not pay up the full quantity and the MSEDCL filed an FIR in opposition to him.
According to stories, after the FIR was registered, the Sena chief cleared the invoice on July 12. He paid a sum of Rs 49,840, which included Rs 34,840 in invoice quantity and Rs 15,000 penalty to the facility operator. As he cleared the dues after a delay of three months, he denied his involvement in any energy theft and accused the state electrical energy division of submitting a false case in opposition to him.
“If I have stolen electricity, then why were my meters at the sites not removed?” he requested, including that yearly he pays taxes price crores of rupees to the federal government. He alleged that the division registered a case in opposition to him in a rush with out making an attempt to look into the main points. He requested for a good probe within the matter.
Interestingly, Sanjay Gaikwad is similar one that had drawn flak lately from the Bharatiya Janata Party for his distasteful remarks in opposition to the previous chief minister (CM) and the incumbent Leader of Opposition (LoP) Devendra Fadnavis. On April 19, Gaikwad had stated that he needs he might ‘stuff coronavirus in the mouth’ of Fadnavis. Following Gaikwad’s remarks, BJP employees had staged protests in opposition to him in Buldhana and burnt the MLA’s effigy.
