The special investigation team (SIT) of the Economic Offences Wing has collected various documents from the headquarters of the civic body as part of its probe into the alleged Rs 12,500-crore scam in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). “As part of the ongoing inquiry, we are conducting a document inspection based on the findings in the CAG report,” Joint Commissioner (EOW) Nishit Mishra said.

The SIT has initiated three separate preliminary enquiries (PEs) in accordance with the directives of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, issued last month. The dedicated team operates under the leadership of Mishra and Mumbai Commissioner of Police Vivek Phansalkar.
