Thane: Ten persons, including four employees of Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation in neighbouring Palghar district, have been booked for alleged irregularities resulting in losses to the civic body, the ACB has said.

An open inquiry was conducted in connection with a corporator’s complaint of irregularities registered with Kapurbawdi police in Thane district, following which an FIR was registered yesterday in the case by Nalla Sopara police under Vasai divison of Palghar, the ACB said.

The accused allegedly connived and got fake commencement certificates made for construction of apartments which they submitted to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co Ltd (MSEDCL), taxation department of the civic body and registrar of cooperative societies, thereby cheating the various agencies, it said.
