The ACB has filed a chargesheet against Jaipur Heritage Municipal Corporation Mayor Munesh Gurjar, who is surrounded by corruption charges. The ACB chargesheet presented in the court mentions Heritage Municipal Corporation Mayor Munesh Gurjar, her husband Sushil Gurjar, contract worker broker Narayan Singh and Anil Dubey.
Munesh Gurjar’s husband used to take bribes for getting work done and Munesh used to sign the files only on his instructions. ACB told this fact in the 2502 page charge sheet presented in the court on Thursday. On the other hand, after receiving notice from the Department of Autonomous Governance in the case of corruption in lieu of lease, a hearing was held in the ACB court. However, due to back pain, Mayor Munesh could not appear in the court. The next hearing in the case has been scheduled for October 5. Mayor Munesh’s lawyer Deepak Chauhan said that the allegations made are baseless.
The ACB has given an example of this through Rajiv Sharma who took a lease in Civil Lines. The ACB said in the charge sheet that Rajiv Sharma had applied for a lease in Civil Lines on 2 December 2022. His file kept moving for one and a half years but the lease was not received. On July 17, an amount of Rs 50,000 reached Sushil Gurjar to get the lease for Rajiv Sharma. On the same day, the file reached the Mayor’s office and on July 19, Rajiv got the lease.
Regarding Satish Chandra Bhargava, a resident of Bani Park, it was written in the charge sheet that Satish wanted to get the lease of his plot located at Tagore Path. He applied on 17 August 2022 but the file kept moving around for about 1 year. When the complainant of the case Sudhanshu talked about Satish’s lease with broker Anil Dubey on 24 July, he wrote 2 on WhatsApp and sent it. That is, he asked for two lakhs. On 25 July, the mayor’s husband took one lakh rupees. On 27 July, the file reached the mayor’s office and on 1 August Satish Bhargava got the lease.
