Mumbai Police Books BJP Leader Mohit Kamboj For ₹52 Crore Scam
Mumbai: Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police has booked BJP leader Mohit Kamboj for fraud. The manager of Indian Overseas Bank had filed a complaint claiming that Kamboj and two other directors of a company took a ₹52 crore loan from a bank but didn’t use it for intended work.
A case has been registered against the millionaire leader and other two directors of the company under sections 409 and 420 of the IPC.
Soon after the FIR was registered, BJP leader Mohit Kamboj termed it as rubbish and accused the MVA government of suppressing his voice as an opposition leader.
“The Mumbai Police has filed a fabricated FIR against me based on the bank issues of a company that was shut back in 2017. If the MVA thinks that such actions would suppress me, they are mistaken. The Mumbai CP may have registered this fabricated case to avenge the ED action against (Maharashtra Minister) Nawab Nawab or against (Shiv Sena leader) Sanjay Raut or the exposure of an IPS. These moves cannot silence me. I will fight this matter in court and bring the truth to the fore,” Kamboj said in a video shared message on Twitter.

Significantly, this matter has come a day after the press conference of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, where he had given a clarification against several BJP leaders including Kamboj.
Raut alleged that Kamboj was the “frontman” of opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis and linked him to the Patra Chawl redevelopment project. Raut accused the BJP leader of using funds from Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank to buy land in Patra Chawl at throwaway prices.
Currently, PMC Bank and the delayed Patra Chawl project in Mumbai are under ED scrutiny. Moments after Raut’s press conference, Kamboj denied all in a media address.
Earlier this week, the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at 26 locations in Maharashtra involving senior Shiv Sena leader and Transport Minister Anil Parab in a money laundering case.
