Barely two days after being given the Congress ticket to contest against Chief Minister Pramod Sawant in Sankhali constituency, Dharmesh Saglani has now been booked by Canacona police for an offence in connection with a land deal worth Rs 40 lakh in 2016.
According to Canacona police Inspector Pravin Gawas, Pravin Varik of Patnem-Canacona filed a complaint on Thursday stating that sometime between March 2016 and April 18, 2016, Dharmesh Saglani of Gokulwadi-Sanquelim allegedly deposited an amount of Rs 25 lakh and Rs 15 lakh in the bank account of his late father, Ghansham Varik, at a branch in Canacona.
Pravin accused Saglani of dishonestly taking the self-cheques from his late father and withdrawing both amounts from his father's account.
Pravin also complained that on April 18, 2016, Saglani took Ghansham Varik to the office of the Sub Registrar and executed an agreement for sale to dishonestly grab the complainant's property near the seashore at Patnem-Canacona and the complainant's house, thereby cheating him and his late father.
The Canacona police has registered an offence under Section 420 lPC.
Sanglani had unsuccessfully contested the 2017 elections and is making another bid in Sankhali constituency on the Congress ticket against Chief Minister and BJP candidate Pramod Sawant.
