The Maharashtra government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) Committee to probe alleged irregularities amounting to Rs 12,024 crores in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The committee includes two senior officers and the Joint Commissioner of Police in Mumbai. The move comes after a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India pointed out the irregularities in the expenses incurred by the BMC between November 2019 and October 2022. The SIT probe was demanded by BJP MLA Amit Satam in a formal complaint to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. In March this year, Maharashtra Assembly tabled a CAG report on the matter, which revealed numerous irregularities and corruption in BMC’s administration. The report also stated that 20 works were awarded without tender in two separate departments. Earlier, in February, Kirit Somaiya, a BJP leader and former MP, had accused the BMC of corruption in procuring Remdisivir injections during the Covid-19 pandemic. After the CAG report, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray called for a similar inquiry in Thane, Navi Mumbai, Nagpur, and Pune municipalities.
