The Mumbai crime branch has filed a report before the Bombay HC opposing the application for quashing of the FIR filed by additional commissioner of police Suresh Nalavade in the atrocity case registered against him by his ex-police associate Lalsa-heb Shette.
“When Nalavade filed for quashing the application before the HC, we had opposed it orally. So the court had directed the investigating agency to file a report on it,” said a crime branch senior official, on condition of anonymity.
The crime branch officer further said, “The allegations are very serious. Also, we need to investigate the case. The case is in its primary stage and hence we oppose the quashing application. Now it is up to the court to decide on it.”
Shette, who is now attached to the local arms division of Naigaon police, had registered an FIR in July with Versova pol-ice station, claiming that Nalavade had “taunted and harassed him” for belonging to a reserved caste.
