BMC inquiry against officer who allowed Big B’s Malad shoot

MUMBAI: Even as P-North ward officer Devendra Jain has been absolved of poll code of conduct violation, civic chief Sitaram Kunte has told the election commission (EC) that an administrative inquiry will be initiated by the BMC.

Last week, following a TOI report on how a Citizen Facilitation Centre (CFC) at the Malad ward office was kept closed on April 13, a Sunday, to allow shooting for a TV serial starring actors Amitabh Bachchan and Sarika, the EC had called for a report. Jain was served a show-cause notice and asked to reply in 24 hours. An inquiry was conducted by deputy civic commissioner V Balamwar.

Source said, the report mentions that the last application for poll-related activities at the single-window scheme was received at 2pm. The single-window system has to be open till 5pm daily. The report states that the last permission for poll-related activity was collected at 7pm. This is based on CCTV recordings. Around 13 permissions were granted that day,.

Sources said the administrative inquiry was on account of the ward officer letting out the ward office premises for commercial activity without clearance. Jain, defending himself, has submitted a circular that allows such permission to be given by the ward officer. But sources said the circular is with regard to roads and footpaths only.

The report mentions a letter from the Malad West assistant returning officer Ajinkya Padwal to Jain asking him to cancel permission for use of the central polling station—a civic school near the ward office—for the shoot. Sources said when Padwal visited the school on April 13 morning, his entry was blocked and he had to call the cops. "On entry, he found a film crew cooking near the strong room. Padwal also lodged a verbal complaint with additional municipal commissioner Sanjay Deshmukh, who ordered the permission to be revoked," said a source. Deshmukh was unavailable for comment.
