The Tulinj Police have finally arrested the Bahujan Vikas Aghadi party's absconding corporator Arun Jadhav for alleged forgery and land-grabbing. Businessman and activist Kumar Kakde had complained in this regard to the assistant municipal commissioner of Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) alleging illegal construction on his land by the accused, after which a police complaint was registered against Jadhav at the Tulinj police station a couple of months ago.

Jadhav, a corporator of ward no 52, allegedly constructed a building — Sidhdhi Vinayak Apartment — on a piece of land at Virar's Datta Mandir area and other plots too by producing forged government documents to the VVCMC. Kakade, 37, the landowner, had complained to the VVCMC about an illegally-constructed building on 32 gunthas of his land in 2016. He claimed it was constructed by Jadhav.
