Maharashtra BJP leader Pravin Darekar appeared before Mumbai police to record his statement for the second time in a case of alleged false declaration in connection with a bank poll.

A case was filed against Darekar after AAP leader Dhananjay Shinde alleged that the former had shown himself as a labourer to fight the directorship polls of a Mumbai-based cooperative bank. An MRA Marg police station official said Darekar appeared before police on Monday for the second time to record his statement.
