The RTI activist further went on to add that it is just the tip of the iceberg. “If you investigate the matter in totality, you will find more and more such misdeeds. I have already lodged complaint with Government of Maharashtra. MP Mr Kirit Somaiya has lodged a complaint with Anti Corruption Bureau of Maharashtra.

However, the Government of Maharashtra has not given such permission. Please investigate the matter and take appropriate action as per law as soon as possible,” Kumbhar stated in his complaint.
