Ex- Mayor Summoned Over COVID Body Bag Scam

About the COVID body bag scam investigation, Mumbai ex-mayor Kishori Pednekar, the leader of the Uddhav Thackeray faction, was called before the Enforcement Directorate on January 25.

The former mayor of Mumbai was called before the ED earlier in November of last year in relation to the COVID body bag scam case.

According to the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) investigations, one company was selling dead Covid patient body bags to another company for the sum of Rs 2,000.

Kishori Pednekar, the head of Shiv Sena (UBT) and the then-mayor of the BMC, signed the deal with that company, which was providing the same body bags to the Central Procurement Department for Rs 6,800.

The Mumbai police also filed a complaint against Pednekar.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police had earlier called Ramakant Biradar, the former Deputy Commissioner of the BMC’s Central Purchase Department (CPD), to investigate the claims of irregularities in the procurement of body bags for COVID-19 patients who had passed away.
