The Azad Maidan police have booked a BMC employee for allegedly working at the same time in two civic divisions—as a ward boy at Cama hospital and a cleaner in BEST—for nearly 17 years. Dinesh Kamble was exposed in 2013, but the case was registered on Monday. 

Kamble, who is due to retire next year, told the police that he did it for his ailing life and was unaware of the rule about dual employment.
The police said Kurla resident Kamble, 59, joined Cama as a ward boy in 1991. Four years later, he managed to get the job of a cleaner at BEST’s Colaba depot. In his ward boy career, he was transferred to JJ hospital for about seven years before returning to Cama.
