Civic peon held for siphoning off cash collected as taxes

MUMBAI: A Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) peon has been arrested for allegedly siphoning off the money collected by way of various municipal taxes from the public, for his personal use.

The matter came to light when the MBMC issued notices to the public for non-payment of the taxes since 2009.

Ivon Malekar (45) a resident of Utan in Bhayander (west) was employed in the nearby MBMC office. As Malekar was known to them, the villagers used to give him cash to be deposited as taxes in the municipal office. Malekar would take the cash and later give them the MBMC receipt for the payment made.

The complainant Nicholas Almeida (53) who received the MBMC notice for non-payment of taxes, approached the municipality with the receipts. The civic officials on examining the receipts found them to be fake. Almeida approached the Utan coastal police who arrested Malekar. He has been remanded to police custody.

It turned out that Malekar had printed fake receipts in his house. He never deposited the cash into the MBMC account but ensured that he issued receipts so that he never got caught. Police said that Malekar may have siphoned off around Rs 1.15 lakhs from the residents of Utan. The police found rubber stamps of various departments from his house.
