In less than six months of having registered three cases, Lokayukta’s Special Police Establishment (SPE) and Criminal Investigation Department (CID) are ready to charge-sheet Congress MLA Smt Kalpana Parulekar. She was arrested from Ujjian on February 2 this year for allegedly morphing photograph of the Lokayukta Justice Shri PP Naolekar with that of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Both the agencies are likely to file their chargesheets by the month end. “We are waiting for sanction to prosecute the co-accused. The chargesheet will be filed soon after we receive it,” Superintendent of Police (SP) (SPE Ujjain unit) Arun Mishra told media on October 10. Kalpana Parulekar, MLA from Mahidpur, was booked along with 10 others in two different cases in February this year. In the first case, she was accused of installing 40 solar energy street lights on her own land instead of public places. A sum of Rs 3.85 lakh was released from the MLA’s constituency development fund for those lights. A case under Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act was registered against her and seven others. In the second case, she was accused of using MLA’s fund (Rs four lakh) for constructing roads on her and her brother’s land. Charge-sheets are ready in both cases, said the SP. Meanwhile, at CID headquarters, final procedural formalities for Parulekar’s chargesheet are being decided in the morphing case. “Our chargesheet is almost ready we would file it soon,” said MR Krishna, Additional Director General of police (ADG) CID.
