Nalagarh police registered an FIR against Anchit Thakur, son of former BJP MLA KL Thakur, for allegedly using forged transit passes to supply mining material for six bridges on NH-105. The case followed a complaint by RTI activist Mohan Lal Sharma, who alleged 2,418 forged forms deprived the state of royalty worth crores.
