The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday filed a police complaint against a person who tweeted that the commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal will be probed by the Income Tax department for irregularities.
Advocates Sunil Sonawane has lodged a police complaint in Azad Maidan against Sameet Thakkar for spreading false information about BMC chief.
Sameet Thakkar on Friday in a tweet said, "Big breaking, According to top sources of @Income Tax India is all set to inquire BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal in a standing committee chairman Yashwant Jadhav case. Notice in this regard has been served according to my source."
