ACB officials said that Andhalkar’s assets, not accounted for, are around Rs 1.57 crore.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACB) Hemant Bhatt said that they had received an anonymous complaint last year about Andhalkar’s disproportionate assets and began investigating.
“During the investigation, we sent several letters to Andhalkar seeking his cooperation. He did not cooperate, prompting us to take action against him today,” Bhatt said.
Bhatt added that during the past year, they visited Andhalkar’s home at Barshi in Solapur district and found that he had amassed disproportionate assets.
An ACB official said that Andhalkar’s assets include several vehicles, stone crushers, hotels, lodges, houses and land in the city, as well as in Solapur district. Superintendent of Police (ACB), Sarang Awad, said that Andhalkar will be produced in court today. u00a0
