MUMBAI: The Bombay high court has slammed district authorities in Kolhapur for a “brazen act of fabrication” intended to show that an archaeological site was over 100 metres away from a bridge under construction.
Declaring their May 2018 survey report and map to be illegal, the court pointed out that the ancient site of Brahmapuri was shown on a private plot at a safe distance only to enable completion of the new Shivaji Bridge on the Panchganga river in Kolhapur.
