The Nizampur police station has registered a case of cheating against a company that had undertaken a road reconstruction project in 2016, and a firm paid to inspect it, for duping the Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation of R3.91-crore. Deputy Municipal Commissioner Deepak Kurlekar lodged a complaint against Eagle Infrastructure Company and Indian Registered Shipping Company on Friday.

The corporation also suspended five of its engineers who were overseeing this work. The police said that in 2016, the Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation had given a contract to reconstruct a road from Anjurphata to Firdous Masjid Road, a stretch of around 4,400 metres, to Udhhavdas Rupchandani's Eagle Infrastructure Company.
