Bombay HC slams police for lethargy in probe against govt officials for forging Madh Island maps to insert ‘illegal’ bungalows

The Bombay High Court last week slammed the Mumbai Police for showing ‘lethargy’ and being ‘lackadaisical’ in investigation into the First Information Report (FIR) lodged in 2021 against government officials for forging maps in Madh island in Malad (west) to insert illegally built structures, mostly bungalows, in the maps to show them as legal.

The court directed the additional commissioner police (Addl CP) of Western region to look into the probe and inform it of the steps taken by the police to complete the probe in an expeditious manner, to take it to its logical end.

Considering “gravity and seriousness” of the case and “conduct of the officers”, it also asked the Addl CP to remain present in the court during the next hearing on October 23.
