The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is all set to launch a probe into huge wealth amassed by Archana Manish Puttewar (53), Assistant Director of Urban Planning Department, who allegedly conspired to murder her father-in-law through ‘contract killers’ recently, ACB officials said. A complaint has been lodged against Archana, which has been forwarded to the Director General (DG) of ACB office in Mumbai. The inquiry into Puttewar’s assets will commence upon approval from the DG ACB office. Many beneficiaries in Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, and Nagpur are likely to be quizzed during the investigation, the officials claimed.

 

Yogita Parlewar, with the assistance of her slain father Purushottam Puttewar (82), filed a lawsuit to claim a share in the property located in Untkhana area. Her move had caused distress to Archana and her brother, Prashant Parlewar, who serves as Director of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME). As a result, the siblings conspired to eliminate Purushottam Puttewar. In this conspiracy, Archana’s personal aide, Payal Nageshwar, along with her confidant, Sarthak Sahebrao Bagde (29), a resident of Chaitnyashwar Nagar, Wathoda; Neeraj Ishwar Nimje (30), a resident of Shaktimata Nagar, Kharbi Road; Sachin Mohan Dharma (29), a resident of Bagadganj, and one Sanket, were involved. On the morning of May 22, Purushottam was killed in a car accident.
