NewzMumbai's crime branch is now investigating Ramesh Kamble for allegedly using a forged caste certificate in the 2002 BMC elections. An initial investigation by Chembur police resulted in a closure report that was deemed unsatisfactory by the complainant. Advocate Chitra Salunkhe filed a writ petition seeking a re-investigation which prompted intervention by the Bombay High Court.
The court directed the Mumbai Police Commissioner to transfer the case for further examination. Mumbai's crime branch has taken over the investigation of former BMC corporator Ramesh Kamble's 2002 election case. Kamble allegedly submitted a forged caste certificate to contest the election reserved for Scheduled Castes.
A complaint filed by advocate Chitra Salunkhe led to this renewed investigation, after initial findings were deemed inconclusive. The Divisional Caste Verification Committee had previously invalidated his caste certificate in 2005.
