An offence has been lodged against an unidentified person for sending a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis with forged signatures of police personnel. The letter sought the transfer of a senior officer from Pune City Police.

Tukaram Nale lodged the first information report in this case at the Bundgarden police station on Thursday. Police said Nale works as a ‘reader’ of Additional Commissioner of Police Namdev Chavan, who has been transferred recently from Pune City Police.

A few days ago, the Chief Minister’s Office and Fadnavis’s office received a letter seeking Chavan’s transfer.

The letter, which contained defamatory content about Chavan, carried the forged signatures of a senior police inspector and few sub-inspectors from Pune City Police.
