Somaiya has also claimed that Rs 5 crore was paid by Ego Media Pvt Ltd to various railway police and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials for allowing the installation of two dozen illegal hoardings in Ghatkopar and Dadar areas of Mumbai. The saffron party leader has written a letter to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, requesting him to suspend Quaiser Khalid for his alleged involvement in the scandal.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe the hoarding collapse incident. According to Somaiya, the SIT has detected proof of Rs 46 lakh bribes paid to Kaiser Khalid through Mohammad Arshad Khan, who deposited the amount in Mahapatra Garments Pvt Ltd, a company owned by Quaiser Khalid's wife, Summana Quaiser Khalid, and Mohd Arshad K Khan.
The Mumbai hoarding collapse has raised questions about the negligence and corruption of government officials, and the latest allegations have added fuel to the fire. So far, five people have been arrested in connection with the incident, and action is expected against railway police and BMC officials.
