Three years after the arrest of sub-inspector Daya Nayak in a DA case, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is still waiting to get a sanction from the Maharashtra DGP to file a charge sheet against him, though it has moved a local court to attach his properties.

An application filed by ACB to attach the properties of Nayak, valued at Rs 62.7 lakh, will come up for hearing before a small cases court here tomorrow.
ACB has alleged in the application that Nayak acquired 'benami' properties in the name of his wife Komal, brother-in-law B Raja and co-accused Sanjay Padte.
Nayak, credited with gunning down more than 80 notorious gangsters in encounters, has denied possessing such properties. Komal and Raja too have denied that they were holding these properties and claimed that they had purchased the assets from their own money and not from Nayak's earnings.
Pressing for attachment of Nayak's properties, ACB argued that his assets were disproportionate to his known sources of income, for which Nayak was unable to give a satisfactory explanation as to how he acquired them.
Nayak was arrested in February 2006 in a disproportionate assets case and was released on bail after a month. In November 2007, ACB had sought the sanction of the DGP to file a charge sheet but is yet to receive the permission.
