Cop booked for PAN card agent’s suicide

Investigations earlier had revealed that Mistry,arrested from Narayangaon by the Anti Terrorist Cell of Pune police in February,had made “suspicious” calls to Pakistan and had procured a PAN card submitting fake documents with the help of Chaskar.

After he allegedly committed suicide,a group of 400 persons,including his family and relatives,brought his body to Narayangaon police station claiming he died after harassment by police.

Chaskar’s family wrote a complaint blaming Chavan for the suicide. Senior police officers rushed to the

spot and controlled the mob and assured them that the complaint will be viewed seriously.

Chavan,however,told media that Chaskar was arrested following strong evidence. Chavan said Chaskar had never complained of any harassment by police whenever he was produced in court.

Chavan claimed there was “politics” behind the offence registered against him.

Pratap Dighavkar,district superintendent of police,has ordered an inquiry,to be conducted by deputy superintendent of police B R Patil of Khed division,into the matter.
