New Delhi
A man has been arrested for allegedly duping three Arunachal MLAs by promising a cabinet seat for them in the state government.
The man posed as the personal assistant of an MP and took money from the MLAs for the positions. The MLAs discovered they were duped when the politicians met the MP.
Police sources said that the man, identified as Sanjay Tewari, was nabbed from his residence in Delhi after the politician requested the police commissioner to take up the case on a priority.
The MLAs told the cops that they met Tewari at a function last year in Delhi where he introduced himself as the personal assistant of the MP. They claimed that Tewari offered to help them in any political matter, The Times of India reported.
The MLAs later re-established contact with Tewari following which they asked him for positions in the Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet.
Tewari assured them that he would speak to the MP and asked them to transfer money to him. The three transferred the amount into Tewari’s bank account. But the accused disappeared with the money, reported the India Today.
The MLAs saw their worst fears come true when they met the MP and discovered that they had been duped, the daily said.
After the senior politician learnt that his name was used to dupe the three MLAs, he approached the Delhi Police and requested the commissioner to take up the case on a priority.
It was during interrogation that the police found that Sanjay Tewari was not connected to the MP. The police discovered that Tewari had been in the function on someone else’s invite.
Police have arrested the accused and registered a case of cheating against him.
3 MLAs should also be registered under bribery as giving bribe is also a crime.
These MLAs will only encourage the bribe system. Names of MLAs should be made public. This news is only showing how much the authorities are corrupted and used their power to cover up their names.
JAI HIND!
Please mention the name’s of our MLA
Yes, those MLAs should be booked in Par with Mr Tiwari.
After all why they should bribed for position.
Law must speak without discrimination.
Name of MLA must be revealed. Why only tiwaris name? Trio MLA deserves equal punishment. Authorities should maintain equality.
A case should be registered against the 3 MLAs. These politicians are not only involved in corruptions but also encourages it. And it is because of politicians like them that we see corruption everywhere in our state.
Shameless and foolish AP politicians’ name should be made public. Public wants to know them.
The name of 3 MLAs should also be published. The News itself may be false. I have gone through all the papers today. But nothing of the sort was found.
