Pune: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the multi-crore fake stamp paper racket, is likely to file third supplementary chargesheet against nine accused, including the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA C Krishna Yadav, Assistant Commissioner of Police Gokul B Patil and others, tomorrow (Dec 29, 2003) in a city court.
Other accused who will be chargesheeted include Crime Branch Senior Inspector Mumbai Dattatreya Dal, police inspectors Vashist Andale and Prabhabkar Kakade and four other persons, SIT sources said today (Dec 28).
The chargesheet, running into more than 1,500 pages, will be filed under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
C Krishna Yadav was the second MLA to be arrested in connection with the scam. Hailing from Himayatnagar Assembly constituency of Andhra Pradesh, Yadav was arrested on September 6, brought to Pune and remanded to police custody from time to time. The first MLA to be arrested was the Samajwadi Janata Party (SJP) MLA Anil Gote.
The first chargesheet was filed on March 27 this year against the kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi and 38 others, which gave details of how Telgi's gang infiltrated into the Nasik-based India Security Press (ISP). This chargesheet was spread over 11,000 pages.
The second supplementary chargesheet was filed against Gote and 15 other on September 15 spelling out their role in the whole scam. Former Mumbai Police Commissioner R S Sharma, Joint Commissioner of Police Sridhar Vagal, suspended Assistant Commissioner of Police M C Mulani and others will be chargesheeted later, the SIT sources added.
