NAGPUR: Like the Lok Sabha and assembly polls, even the forthcoming Nagpur Municipal Council (NMC) elections are no different in terms of candidates with criminal backgrounds, being in fray. From minor offences like unlawful assembly to serious crimes like outraging woman's modesty, kidnapping, murder and attempt to murder, there are various types of cases registered against some contestants who would be trying their luck this time in the polls to be held on February 21.
All of them have mentioned their offences in their respective affidavits filed with the state election commission (SEC), which are available on their website. Interestingly, all the major parties, including ruling BJP and opposition Congress, fielded such candidates even as they made tall claims about not entertaining those with criminal backgrounds.
Those who have serious offences include Shiv Sena's Anil Dhawade from Ward No 22, Jagdish Lanjewar from Ward 25, Khan Javed Khan Mohammad from Ward No 27, Angad Hironde from Ward no 24, and Tausif Ahmed from Ward No 19. Some contestants like Mamta Bodele are facing inquiry under Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
While Dhawde faced murder charges, Lanjewar and Khan were booked for outraging women's modesty. Hironde and Ahmed are facing charges of attempt to murder. Dhawde is also facing charges under forgery, dishonesty, using forged documents and criminal intimidation. Lanjewar is facing charges for punishment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt.
The list of candidates sharing criminal background also have many big and popular names like that of mayor Pravin Datke, former standing committee chairmen — Sandip Joshi, Narendra Borkar and Ramesh Shingare, along with leader of ruling party Dayashankar Tiwari and others.
