Former mayor of Mumbai, Kishori Pednekar appeared before the city police’s Economic Offences Wing on Monday. Pednekar appeared before the EOW in connection with an alleged scam in the purchase of body bags for Covid-19 victims, a PTI report quoted a police official saying.
Pednekar, on September 6, was granted interim protection from arrest by the Bombay High Court for four weeks. The court noted that the case probe was on and at this stage custodial interrogation was not warranted. Prior to that, the court had asked the police not to take coercive action against her.
