Mumbai, March 30: A city-based builder who was acquitted by the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court for lack of evidence has now moved High Court, seeking action against Director General of Police and DG (CID) Meeran Borwankar.
Petitioner Mahendra Agarwal has alleged that he was falsely implicated by DGP Anami Roy and others in the case related to a construction dispute in which gangster Ravi Pujari is involved.
State has filed appeal against the acquittal of Agarwal and six others.
Agarwal has relied on the observation made by the lower court that there was not a “grain of evidence” against him.
He and others were booked under MCOCA following a complaint filed by Brijlal Tiwari, who alleged that Agarwal and his partner Madhukar Musale were pressurising him and other tenants of an old building for consent to a reconstruction project.
