|September 07, 2025
Daman and Diu's Lok Sabha MP, Umeshbhai Babubhai Patel, has approached the Supreme Court seeking a Special Investigating Team (SIT) probe into alleged financial irregularities in the handling of funds for the Union Territory's Secretariat building project.
In his petition filed on Thursday, Patel urged the apex court not only to constitute an SIT but also to monitor its investigation. He also sought a direction to the Centre to register an FIR into the matter, alleging misuse of public money by officials of the UT administration.
The plea detailed a series of tenders issued over 3 years for the renovation and restoration of the Secretariat at Moti Daman, which it claimed led to unnecessary financial losses.
