The Congress on Wednesday questioned the extension of tenure granted to bureaucrat Radheshyam Mopalwar as the head of the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation, pointing to allegations of corruption against him. Mopalwar, who retired from Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in February, was given a year’s extension starting March 1 by the government. Nearly 35 audio clips of his telephonic conversations were submitted against him. The audio clips had conversations allegedly between Mopalwar and his aide and private investigator Satish Mangale. Mopalwar has earlier denied any involvement in these tapes and said they were doctored in a bid to malign him.
