The Mumbai police have said that they will continue with their probe against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mohit Kamboj in a fraud case registered by the economic offences wing (EOW), a day after the complainant in the case, a manager of Indian Overseas Bank, had withdrawn his complaint.
After the police registered a first information report (FIR), Kamboj tweeted Wednesday a letter which was purportedly written by the complainant in the case to the joint commissioner of police (EOW). In the letter, the chief regional manager of Indian Overseas Bank seeks to withdraw the complaint against Kamboj as another complaint to the same effect had already been filed before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Kamboj added in the tweet that he would fight the “misuse of power and fabrication of FIR” legally. In another tweet, he claimed that the bank dues were settled and he was just a guarantor. An officer from the Mumbai police, however, said that they would continue with the probe.The manager said in the complaint that Kamboj was one of the three directors of a company that took a loan of Rs 52 crore from the bank and that the BJP leader used it for a purpose other than the intended one.

Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral R Hari Kumar, will be the chief guest at the event.During decommissioning ceremony, the ship’s decommissioning pennant, which is flown by the ship on the Sunday prior to the decommissioning date, is hauled down. The pennant is the mark of a ship being in commission. The hauling down of the pennant takes place during sunset, signifying the end of the commissioned service of the ship.
The decommissioning pennant is equal to the ship’s length and post decommissioning, it is preserved as part of naval history, said a Navy spokesperson.
INS Nishank, the fourth of the Veer Class Missile Corvette, has been an integral part of the Killer Squadron, renowned for its heroics in the 1971 India-Pakistan War.
It holds the distinction of having operated on both the eastern as well as western seaboards. The ship is armed with surface-to-surface missile. It has been earmarked to be displayed as a war relic at a suitable historic location.
INS Akshay is part of the 23rd Patrol Vessel Squadron, whose primary role is anti-submarine warfare and coastal patrol. With a formidable armament of long-range torpedoes and anti-submarine rockets, the ‘submarine hunter’ was perennially on petrol, keeping enemy submarines at bay, said the spokesperson.
