SIT's petition, seeking attachment of Telgi's properties and freezing of 38 bank accounts, would come up for hearing before the designated judge S M Shembole on October 30.
On the same day, the court would also hear the bail plea of three accused held in the scam. They are advocate Rasheed Kulkarni, inspector Dattatraya Dal and Telgi's alleged frontman Manoj Mehta. SIT has sought attachment of Telgi's seven properties which include three flats at Colaba in south Mumbai, one flat in 7 Cuffe Parade Building, Alankar Guest House in Nagpada area of south Mumbai, Thane Polyorganic Company in adjoining Thane district and an office at Shalimar Complex in a city suburb.
Telgi and his wife had a major share in Polyorganic Company while Tejas Gote, son of accused and Samajwadi Janata Party MLA Anil Gote was a partner in this concern, SIT sources said. SIT has also sought to freeze 38 bank accounts standing in the name of Telgi and his relatives. Sit has already written to these banks urging them not to allow the account holders to operate these accounts. Bureau Report
