A Shiv Sena (UBT) corporator has been disqualified from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) after a caste scrutiny committee invalidated his caste certificate, reported the PTI.

The announcement was made by Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawade during the BMC general body meeting on Thursday. She informed members that the seat held by Deepak Sawant from Ward No. 111 in Kanjurmarg had become vacant following the committee's decision.
