THANE: Private detective
Satish Mangle, arrested under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) for blackmailing IAS officer
Radhyeshyam Mopalwar, made multiple trips to
Sri Lanka and Thailand reportedly met gangster
Ravi Pujari to discuss criminal activities, stated the chargesheet filed on Wednesday.
The 1,731-page chargesheet was moved in the MCOCA court of Justice AS Bhaisare on Wednesday when the opposition moved an adjournment motion in the assembly over the reinstatement of Mopalwar as Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) chief. On November 4, 2017, Satish and Shraddha Mangle were caught accepting Rs 1 crore to hand over some “incriminating” audio tapes. Mangle had earlier given a tape to TV channels in which Mopalwar was allegedly heard discussing a Rs 4 crore deal. A state-appointed panel gave him a clean chit and recently Mopalwar was given an extension at the MSRDC.
On November 14, 2017, Mopalwar reportedly received a call from gangster Ravi Pujari, who is said to have demanded Rs 7 crore. Pujari ordered Mopalwar to withdraw the complaint against
Mangale and also threatened him with dire consequences, if he did not comply.
