Bombay High Court Criticizes Police Probe into Former Corporator's Caste Certificate Case
The Bombay High Court criticized the Chembur police for a flawed investigation into allegations against former corporator Ramesh Kamble, accused of using forged caste certificates to contest elections reserved for Scheduled Castes. The court noted the investigating officer appeared to favor Kamble and obstruct justice. Kamble's original caste certificate was invalidated after he was found to be Christian by birth, a decision upheld by courts. A petition seeks to transfer the probe to the CID for a thorough investigation.
