A sessions court on Monday rejected the anticipatory bail application of former Lok Sabha member Kirit Somaiya in the cheating case.
BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, accused of misappropriation of over Rs 57 crore raised to save the decommissioned naval aircraft carrier Vikrant, on Tuesday refuted the charge against him and said he will approach the Bombay High Court in the matter.
Kirit Somaiya, a bitter critic of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA-comprising the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress) in Maharashtra, in a video statement shared on Twitter said he will not stop “exposing scams” of the Uddhav Thackeray-led state government.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has accused former Lok Sabha member Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil Somaiya of misappropriation of over Rs 57 crore collected in the name of saving the decommissioned naval aircraft carrier, which was scrapped in 2014.
Mr Raut has also accused the Somaiyas of fleeing Maharashtra in the wake of the allegations against them.
