Divisional Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Shripad Kale on Thursday said that action will be taken against the policemen allegedly involved in the Rs 50-crore Kalina bungalow grabbing case. The ACP added that he will also approach the executive magistrate for handing over of the property to its legal custodian. He was speaking to mid-day hours after this paper’s report on the struggles of Roque D’Souza, 63, whose bungalow in Kalina has been taken over by the land mafia.

“All the accused will be dealt with an iron hand. We are also examining the involvement of a policeman who allegedly helped the land grabbers illegally acquire the bungalow. We have recorded the statements of both D’Souza and Abid Ali Mushtaque Tanaji (the land grabber),” Kale said.
