A court in Nagpur has imprisoned former Maharashtra Minister and Congress MLA Sunil Kedar for five years. The case relates to misappropriation of money belonging to farmers from the Nagpur District Central Cooperative Bank (NDCCB).
Besides Mr. Kedar, the court held five others, including the then general manager Ashok Choudhary, guilty in the two-decade-old case which dates back to 2001-2002 when the Congressman was chairman of the NDCCB.
Mr. Kedar, a five-term MLA from Saoner Assembly constituency in Nagpur, was charged under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 409 (criminal breach of trust by a public servant), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and other sections.
