Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, Devendra Fadnavis, on Thursday raised the issue of corruption in Mumbai Police in the House, questioning the “disproportionate assets” of former police officer and encounter specialist Isaque Bagwan and his alleged links with Iqbal Kaskar, brother of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. He said he would give a pen drive to Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil for conducting an investigation in the matter.

Fadnavis raised the issue of Bagwan’s “disproportionate assets” while referring to a complaint filed by the former officer’s brother. “Isaque Bagwan is a retired and celebrated officer of Mumbai Police and was also an encounter specialist. Now, his brother has lodged a complaint against him about accumulating disproportionate assets. In Baramati alone, he owns 42 acre of non-agricultural land. His properties can be found from Baramati to Mumbai,” he said.
