Nashik: Malegaon mayor Nasrin Shaikh accused BJP’s former MP Kirit Somaiya, who does not hold any constitutional post, of engaging in “cheap and dirty politics” and interfering in civic administrative work. She said she has written to the civic chief, asking him not to give any information to Somaiya until it is validated by the House. Deputy mayor Shan-e-Hind said Somaiya had alleged that delayed birth and death certificates issued by the civic body were forged and given to Bangladeshis and Rohingya. “But SIT investigations have nothing to prove his claims.” —Abhilash Botekar
