Pointing out that the complaint with the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) by Dr Ramesh Jadhav also mentions the name of Unmesh Mahajan, who is officer on special duty (OSD) to minister for revenue Eknath Khadse, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief spokesperson Nawab Malik on Sunday demanded Mahajan's arrest. 

Speaking to media persons, Malik said that Gajanan Patil has been arrested two days back on the basis of a complaint filed by Dr Ramesh Jadhav to ACB. Malik pointed out that since Jadhav's complaint also mentions name of Mahajan he also should be arrested. 

Malik informed that for sorting out a land issue Dr Jadhav had a meeting with Khadse's OSD Unmesh Mahajan and that too at Mantralaya. He said that it was Mahajan who introduced Dr Jadhav to Patil and Dr Jadhav was asked to give Rs30 crore. Malik said that after this meeting there were several meetings which took place at Mantralaya as well as Ramtek bungalow which is the official residence of Khadse. Malik alleged that despite the fact that ACB is in possession of the audio recording of these meetings, Dr Jadhav's complaint was ignored for last eight months. 

Malik informed that it was after the hearing before the Lokayukta who passed the orders on the basis of which Patil was arrested. Malik said that the kingpin in the said matter is still at large. He said that the kingpin is working for the minister and it is proved beyond doubt and despite this the revenue minister himself has announced that he would inquire in to the matter. Malik questioned as to how a minister can conduct his own inquiry? Malik demanded immediate arrest of Mahajan and also demanded confiscating all the hard discs of computers in the revenue minister's office. He demanded filing cases against all those whose names have been mentioned in the audio recordings which is in possession of ACB.
