These baseless insinuations are nothing more than an attempt to tarnish the reputation of Sumeet Facilities Limited and its leadership,” Sumeet Facilities Limited said in a press release.The Jharkhand police have made 11 arrests in the case involving embezzlement of Rs 450 crore. Salunkhe was called for questioning by the officials of ACB. After questioning, he was taken into custody.”Neither our company, our director, nor his family members have any links—direct or indirect—with any political party or political figure. Any insinuation to the contrary is wholly inaccurate and deserves to be ignored,” a spokesperson for the firm said.Regarding the Ambulance Project ‘108’, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was rightly dismissed by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court on April 8, 2025. The court confirmed that the entire tender process conducted by the government of Maharashtra was fair, transparent, and legally sound. All allegations of cost escalation were found to be meritless and unsubstantiated,” the Sumeet Facilities said.”As for the allegations against M Amit Salunkhe relating to Jharkhand’s Excise Policy for the year 2022, we view these claims as entirely false. Salunkhe has been wrongfully implicated by investigative agencies, and the case remains sub judice before the courts in Ranchi. We have absolute confidence in the Indian judiciary and are certain that all truth will soon be vindicated,” the spokesperson said.Click here to join Express Pune WhatsApp channel and get a curated list of our stories© The Indian Express Pvt LtdTags:Bombay High CourtMaharashtra government
