Police on Tuesday filed a charge sheet against four corporators in a local court in builder Suraj Parmar suicide case.

The around 3,050-page charge-sheet was filled against the four accused corporators - Nazeeb Mulla and Hanumant Jagdale (both NCP), Vikrant Chavan (Congress) and Sudha Chavan (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) - in the court of Thane Additional Sessions Judge V V Bambarde.

Thane Police had registered a case of abetment of suicide under IPC and criminal misconduct under Prevention of Corruption Act as the purported suicide note named these four corporators. The charge-sheet was filled by Additional Commissioner of Police Dilip Gore in the case.

Parmar, a leading builder, shot himself on October 7, 2015. His suicide note alleged that a nexus of corporators and officials was harassing him for bribes.

The four corporators are currently lodged in jail and the bail application of Nazeeb Mulla,, filed before the Thane court, is expected to come up for hearing this week. The bail plea of Hanumant Jagdale, filled before the Bombay High Court, is scheduled to come up for hearing sometime next week.
