The Congress demanded today a probe against the Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner after the civic body lost the court case of a plot worth Rs 500 crore in a suburb here. It also sought an investigation into the 'mysterious' death of a BMC worker associated with the case. The civic body, however, rejected the charges, saying all due processes were followed to acquire the plot despite the fact that the purchase notice was not served through a proper channel.
A delegation of Congress corporators, led by Mumbai party unit chief Sanjay Nirupam, met Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 1) Abhishek Trimukhe and filed a complaint against BMC Commissioner Ajoy Mehta. The BMC had earlier tried to acquire the 3.3 acre plot in Jogeshwari for setting up a recreational ground but failed to do so in time and subsequently lost the case in the Bombay High Court and also the land.
