Gujarat CMO Officials resigns on son’s link with Kiran

A senior official in the Gujarat Chief Ministers Office CMO has resigned after his son’s name cropped up in connection with a case involving alleged conman Kiran Patel, who was arrested for allegedly posing as a top official of the Prime Ministers Office PMO.

Pandya, who was associated with the CMO for around two decades, tendered his resignation to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Friday evening.

Patel, a resident of the city’s Ghodasar, was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police on March 3 from a five-star hotel in Srinagar after authorities grew suspicious about his activities. Pandyas son and one Jay Sitapara were reportedly accompanying Patel when he was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police.

Gujarat In the case of Kiran Patel, my name my sons name was linked with him. I thought all misinformation spread with our names will affect PM Modi CM’s image.

As per the complaint, Patel contacted the owner of a bungalow in a posh locality of Ahmedabad and claimed to be a real estate agent and took Rs. 35 lakh from him for its renovation and took its possession by putting up their name plate outside it.
