summoned former Maharashtra Director General of Police
Subhash Malhotra for questioning in the fake stamp paper scam.
The summons were served on Malhotra yesterday and he is
likely to appear either today or tomorrow, SIT sources said.
Malhotra had given a clean chit to the then former Police
Commissioner of Pune R S Sharma when he received the Subhodh

probe.
SIT is likely to seek Malhotra's explanation as to why he
had given a clean chit when there were clear references of
omission and commission committed by Sharma in his capacity as
the Police Commissioner of Pune heading the probe.
In view of allegations made by Additional Police
Commissioner S M Mushriff, the state government had ordered a
probe by Subhodh Kaiswal, DIG, SRPF Jaiswal submitted the
report to DGP Malhotra who ultimately gave a clean chit to
Sharma but took action against other officers.
