Thane: The Thane police have formed a Special Investigation Team to probe the charges against a Maharashtra bureaucrat’s son for mowing down his girlfriend.
Based on the complaint filed by Priya Ume dra Singh, Thane Police Commissiopner Jai Jeet Singh said that the SIT, headed by DCP (V) Amar Singh Jadhav will probe the matter.
“The SIT is looking into all the angles of the case. Statements of witnesses are being recorded and forensic evidences are being collected. Further sections of the law will be added and accused implicated as and if further facts are disclosed during the course of investigation,” said the Police Commissioner Singh.
The development came a day after Maharashtra Congress slammed the state government and police for failing to arrest Ashwajit, a senior bureaucrat’s son, who allegedly made an attempt to run over his girlfriend Singh under a SUV in Thane on December 11.
Congress Chief Spokesperson Atul Londhe said although a FIR has been registered on the victim’s complaint, the Thane Police have yet to arrest the prime accused, Ashwajit Gaikwad, and his friends, who made the murderous attempt on her.
Ashiwajit, 34, is the son of the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) Vice-Chairman & Managing Director Anilkumar Gaikwad.
Singh, a beautician, had revealed the entire incident on her social media posts, in which she named Ashwajit, his friends Romil Patil, Prasad Patil and Sagar Shelkar, while tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the state police and other dignitaries seeking action.
