He had accused him of suppressing information about criminal cases in his 2014 election affidavit, under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999. Apart from Uke, six others, including four of his relatives, have also been booked under MCOCA.
The development comes three months after now deputy CM Fadnavis’s lawyer, Uday Dable, admitted before a court to inadvertently leaving out information related to two pending criminal cases in Fadnavis’s 2014 poll affidavit. Uke had also filed a petition before the Nagpur court.
