It may be recalled that in the year 2013 Vivek Yadav had survived an attack outside the Khadki Cantonment Board (KCB) office. Yadav, who had bagged the PCB vehicle entry tax (VET) contract, was eyeing a similar contract from KCB. Apparently, Yadav’s opponents, who failed to bag the VET contract at PCB and those wanting to get the VET contract at KCB, joined hands to teach Yadav a lesson. Yadav was fired on February 13, 2013. Yadav had then sustained injuries on head and hand.

Those who allegedly attacked Yadav included the then Vice President of KCB Manish Anand, Congress MLA and former minister of state for home Ramesh Bagwe’s son Kuldeep, present KCB VET contractor Vijay Sethi and his partner Ashish Mahendroo. Later Yadav gave an affidavit that Kuldeep Bagwe was not involved in the attack.
