Assembly elections are held in Maharashtra on Wednesday. Just a day before this, a former IPS officer from Pune made a huge allegation against NCP (SP) leader and Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule and Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole. The former IPS alleges that both leaders embezzled Bitcoin in 2018 and that money is being used in the current assembly elections.
Supriya Sule wrote a letter to EC
Supriya Sule has written a letter of complaint to the Election Commission against these allegations. On behalf of Supriya Sule, her lawyer said in the letter that a cyber fraud complaint should be filed immediately against former Pune IPS officers Ravindranath Patil and Gaurav Mehta, who are spreading false information against Supriya Sule.
The lawyer wrote in the letter: “They allege that Nana Patole and Supriya Sule are misusing Bitcoin for the purpose of distributing funds in the assembly elections.” He also tried to create a fake voice of Supriya Sule to reinforce the allegations.
‘Accusations made to tarnish image’
The letter says: “This is a serious crime committed for the purposes of fraud and defamation, using digital means.” These allegations are not only completely false but are made in a malicious attempt to defame and tarnish the image and reputation of Supriya Sule.
‘The FIR must be filed immediately’
He said, ‘It is shocking that such allegations are being made just a night before polling day in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, which shows the intent behind these false allegations. We demand that an FIR be registered immediately as per relevant legal provisions and a thorough investigation be carried out against such persons.
