NCP Pune City Chief Deepak Mankar Booked For Submitting Fake Documents To Police - All You Need To Know

In connection with financial transactions with Shantanu Kukde, who was arrested by Pune Police in a sexual assault case recently, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Pune city president Deepak Mankar has been booked by Pune Police on Monday for misleading the police and submitting fake documents claiming no transactions with him so far.

Kukde, the former state vice president of NCP's minority cell, was arrested by Pune Police in a rape case after complaints from a few victims. Later, it came to light that many people were involved in the case. Police began verifying Kukde's bank accounts, where it was found that several transactions had taken place between Mankar and Kukde.

Regarding the matter, when police called Mankar for interrogation, he submitted fake documents claiming that no financial transactions had been made. When police cross-checked the documents, they were found to be fake. Accordingly, a case has been registered against Mankar for misleading the police by submitting fake documents at the Samarth Police Station.

What was the issue?

A few days ago, Kukde was arrested by Pune Police in a rape and molestation case. During the investigation, police found that financial transactions involving crores of rupees were made from Kukde's bank account.

It was reported that ₹2.5 crore was allegedly transferred to the bank accounts of Mankar and his son from Rahul Jain's account, who is very close to Kukde.

However, Mankar has denied all the allegations. In his clarification, he said the money was received from Jain's account after a land deal. He added that it is legal and all transaction details are available. No transactions have been done with Kukde, he added.
