Complaint Against EOW Officers for Blocking RTI and Justice in MHADA Scam

Topic: Complaint Filed for Criminal Prosecution of DCP Nishandar & ACP Ojha for Obstructing RTI, Hiding Documents, and Violating Law

On 11 June 2025, senior citizen Kamlakar Shenoy filed a police complaint demanding FIR against DCP Sangram Nishandar and ACP Rajesh Ojha of Mumbai’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW).

He alleged that the two officers illegally denied RTI requests related to the ₹3 lakh crore MHADA scam, avoided public hearings, and deliberately violated the Constitution, RTI law, and court judgments.

The RTI requests sought basic public information like educational and RTI training certificates of the officers, but the officers gave false, vague, or no replies.

During the RTI hearing, Shenoy was stopped mid-way, and a threatening board was installed to ban mobile phones – to avoid video proof. Orders were passed without reasons, and arguments were ignored.

The complaint says these actions are part of a bigger cover-up to protect top MHADA officers and prevent public exposure. It lists violations of IPC, BNS, and contempt of court.

Shenoy demanded that an FIR be immediately registered for criminal misconduct, cheating, forgery, breach of trust, and blocking public access to justice and information.
