Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal has said the arrest of senior IPS official Shridhar Wagal in connection with the fake stamp paper racket would not affect the morale of the police.
Wagal is the seniormost police officer to be arrested in connection with the fake stamp paper scam. Bhujbal, who also heads the home ministry, said it was for the courts to decide whether Wagal is guilty or not.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the multi-crore scam has been given full freedom and action would be initiated against those guilty, he told reporters at Mantralaya in Mumbai.
