Pune activist Sanjay Kone has accused real estate developer Mantra Properties of distributing expensive gift packages to Pune Municipal Corporation officials in order to sway their decisions. Kone claims that a large number of designer bags and wooden boxes with Mantra branding were discovered inside the PMC building and near officials' offices.
He is calling for a Municipal Commissioner inquiry and an Anti-Corruption Bureau investigation into the alleged gifts, which he says are meant to influence civic decisions and benefit Mantra Properties. Kone points out that the boxes contain puja materials, bells, designer modak boxes, and other valuable items, and argues that the gifts violate Rule 12 of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, which prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from private individuals or businesses.
The activist demands an immediate inquiry, suspension of those who accept the gifts, legal action against Mantra Properties, and a thorough Anti-Corruption Bureau probe.
