Even as the demand for probing the poor quality of construction of the Monorail’s first phase as pointed out by the CAG (Comptroller & Auditor General) in its audit is gaining momentum, a city BJP functionary has moved a Metropolitan Magistrate’s court, requesting to direct the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police to investigate the alleged fraud and register an FIR against various officials of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), architects, contractors, vendors and project management consultants.

On Monday, city BJP secretary Vivekanand Gupta filed a complaint before Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate S R Pahade of the 9th Court under Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code. He wants the police to file an FIR against all accused, known and unknown, under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act.
