Twelve years after the Maharashtra government initiated suspension proceedings against him, Deputy Regional Transport Officer and Rendezvous Sports CEO Shailendra Gaekwad’ brother Ravi Gaekwad has been exonerated of all charges. He had been charged with not attending office after being transferred out of Mumbai in the wake of an imported bike scam.
"In case of Ravindra Gaikwad, no government revenue was lost and documents of vehicle owners were checked as per the provisions of the law. This means there was no necessity to initiate probe against him... He is being exonerated from the departmental inquiry," the transport department said in an order issued on January 11.
