Maha Min Chhagan Bhujbal cleared in Kalina Library Corruption Case as Spl court grants discharge

Mumbai, Sep 24 (UNI) In a significant legal vindication for Maharashtra Minister and senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal, a special MP/MLA court in Mumbai on Thursday discharged him and five others in the high-profile 2015 Kalina central library corruption case.
The ruling brings a decisive end to a decade-long anti-corruption battle, absolving the veteran politician of long-standing charges that had shadowed his tenure as the state's Public Works Department (PWD) minister.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) originally registered the case in June 2015, alleging that Bhujbal abused his official ministerial position to award a central library construction contract at Mumbai University's Kalina campus to Indiabulls Real Estate Ltd.
