Pimpri Sena corporator accused of murder
PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: An offence has been registered against Shiv Sena corporator and group leader of Pimpri Chinchwad municipal corporation, Rahul Kalate. Anil Raut, the victim, has accused Kalate of assaulting him and attempt to murder. However, Kalate rubbished these claims saying it is a political conspiracy against him. On February 11, the incident occurred at engineer Satish Ingle’s office where Kalate is said to have attacked Raut. Two days later, an offence was registered. "Since they have lodged a complaint after two days, their political conspiracy is evident,” Kalate said. An argument broke out between Kalate and Raut over TDR. Kalate is said to have used cuss words and abused Raut over the telephone. Then Kalate and Vinod More entered Ingle's cabin. Raut too was present at that time and after their argument, Kalate is alleged to have thrown a chair at Raut. Kalate defended himself saying no such thing transpired and he had only spoken over the phone. "I am a candidate for the forthcoming assembly elections and this entire allegation smacks of conspiracy," Kalate said. - FPJ Bureau
