Mumbai, Maharashtra: Only nine per cent of the complaints received by the Mumbai unit of the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) were probed by the anti-graft agency during the last 45 months, according to a Right To Information (RTI) reply.
ACB's Mumbai region received 7,232 complaints from January 2012 to September 2015, mainly of disproportionate assets and graft charges against government servants.
But it ordered "open and discrete" inquiries in only 671 complaints.
Of the remaining 349 cases, First Information Reports were filed in only seven cases, while inquiries were pending in 299 cases, according to the reply.
"Most certainly, during the course of trail, the accused would go scot-free. This implies that either everyone is filing false complaints or there is absolutely no corruption in Mumbai," claimed Mr Ghadge.
But the anti-graft unit denied this charge, Mr Bhogle said, "Whensoever we get any complaint, we go through it thoroughly... When a case does not pertain to graft or corruption, we forward it to the authorities concerned to take corrective measures".
