Shifu Sunkriti leader signed Rs 23-cr MoU by forging docs

The Mumbai Crime Branch has slapped charges of forgery and impersonation on Shifu Sunkriti leader Dr Sunil Kulkarni after a probe revealed that he had forged signatures to make a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a Bhopal based company.

Kulkarni was arrested last month after the Bombay High Court (HC) had directed the police to investigate the claims of Malad-based parents that their two daughters were brainwashed by Kulkarni.

According to police, the probe revealed that Kulkarni was running an event management company using Shivangi Sule's bank account and had forged her signature on cheques to withdraw money.

During Kulkarni's house search, the police found an MoU, which Kulkarni had forged using Shivangi's name. The said MoU of Rs 23 crore, which stated that Shivangi is an advocate, was with a Bhopal based company.

However, Shivangi in her police statement claimed that she had not received a Sanad (registration of bar council) yet, hence she cannot be called as an advocate.
