Nagpur: More skeletons are likely to tumble out of the closet of Sachin Arun Gajallewar, Chief Manager (Finance) of the Manganese Ore India Limited (MOIL) with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) completing the searches at his office and residential premises on Wednesday.
The CBI had booked Gajallewar on charges of corruption, criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, criminal misappropriation, criminal misconduct and abuse of his official position after Chief Vigilance Officer (MOIL) Pradeep Kamle had lodged a complaint against him. Kamle had inquired the matter on a complaint received under the Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Informer Resolution (PIDPIR) as per the Central Vigilance Commission and Ministry of Steel and approached the country’s premier investigation agency to register an FIR against Gajallewar and others on November 14 last year.
