PANJIM: Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) of Goa Police has summoned Leader of Opposition Chandrakant Kavlekar in connection with disproportionate assets case on Monday at 11 am.
The summons was issued on Sunday to Kavlekar who along with his wife Savitri are booked in the case.
“We have to question him on few aspects, which is required as a part of the investigation,” a senior ACB official said.
ACB had filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Kavlekar in September last year for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of Rs 4 crore.
The Goa Police had filed a case against Kavlekar in 2012 under various sections of Prevention of Corruption Act, taking suo moto cognisance of some media reports, which alleged his involvement in illegal allotment of plots.
The ACB had started investigations against Kavlekar’s assets, including his properties in Kerala, in 2012 and had submitted the preliminary inquiry report to the state government in 2013.
Police had conducted raids at various places including his house at Betul during which several matka gambling slips were found.
He was also booked under Anti-Gambling Act.
