Cops ready to corner Kadam

On January 18,BMC ward officer Mahesh Phad was allegedly assaulted by a group of women in his office after he sanctioned demolition of an illegal structure. The women also accused Phad of molestation.

Kadam was booked in the case after Phad alleged the MLA threatened him for ordering the demolition. He claimed he was attacked at the behest of Kadam.

“I was going to apply for Kadam custody in case he got bail in the case of assault on Suryavanshi,” the Pant Nagar police detection officer said.

Senior Pant Nagar police inspector Suresh Nirmal said: “We will send officers to court again on Friday,when Kadam is to be produced once again.”

The crime branch has sought papers of all cases against Kadam. “We have found 10 cases against Kadam in different police stations so far,” confirmed an officer.

“We can definitely conduct chapter proceedings under CrPC against Kadam,considering his record,” he said.
