Pune: City-based real estate developer Yuvraj Dhamale has demanded an enquiry by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the call detail records for last three years of his brother-in-law and former business partner and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Sanjay Kakade in connection with the death threats given to him by Kakade. Dhamale also stated that there is no political conspiracy or business enmity against Kakade.

Dhamale was responding to allegations made by Kakade in a press conference on Monday. Dhamale (40) is the director of the Yuvraj Dhamale Group and Dhamale Infrastructure. He has filed a complaint against Kakade and has also named elder sister Usha Sanjay Kakade (44) in the complaint. The complaint has been filed under sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 500 (defamation) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Chatuhshrungi police station on Saturday (August 1).

As per the complaint, Dhamale had partnered with Kakade in the construction business initially, but in 2010 Dhamale had started his own firm. They had business disputes since then and had stopped visiting each other’s home.

Kakade had refuted the allegations saying that he met Dhamale last on August 29, 2018, on his birthday. “Police have registered the FIR only on the basis of one-sided claims. I got to know about the FIR from journalists. My wife is also not on talking terms with him for the last one year. All these allegations are baseless and there is a possibility of a political conspiracy,” Kakade had said.

Revealing the details of threats received, Dhamale said, “I have made substantial progress in my business. My sister and brother-in-law both were jealous about it. They started working against my interest since 2018, which I had ignored initially. But, recently I was petrified when my sources confirmed that the duo would try to kill me. So for self-protection, I had filed a complaint with police on May 27. It is after two months that police have registered an FIR. Police have not acted in a hurry as claimed by Kakade.”
