A Corporator’s son managed to get married and complete all the rituals, as the Navghar police did not arrest him even after a day of booking him in a case of extortion and kidnapping. T ward corporator Rajani Keni’s son Namit Keni and two others allegedly threatened a civil contractor and forced him to take back a work tender by forging his signature.

Though the contractor, Sanket Hirlekar filed a complaint with the police on December 13, cops did not act on the matter till late December 14. Now they claim that the main accused is absconding. Hirlekar, who runs SCH Construction Company, had filed a tender for civil work in T ward, Mulund (East). The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had allotted him the tender through the online process. On December 4, Hirlekar received a call from an unknown number. The caller identified himself as Manoj Jadhav and claimed that he was speaking from the local corporator’s office. Jadhav further told him that the work for which he received the tender was already complete and that he should only finish the formalities.
