Hrithik Roshan Accused Of Flouting Rules & Buying Burial Land
According to an RTI filed by former Congress president of Khandala area, Kiran Gaikwad, Hrithik & papa Rakesh Roshan have bought a sizeable portion of a reserved government land last December
Hrithik Roshan and his father, Rakesh Roshan, have
suddenly come under scrutiny of law, after an RTI was filed against them having
bought a reserved government land in Khandala. The RTI was filed by former
Congress president of Khandala area, Kiran Gaikwad, who claims that a sizeable
portion of the property bought by the Roshans' last year falls under government
jurisdiction.
According to Mumbai Mirror, the father-son duo had bought
over 15,000 sq mt of land in Khandala last December under their company Sunder
Bhawar Holiday Homes Pvt Ltdn for around Rs 30 Crore. However, the RTI claims
that one of the plots – survey number 181B, Maval Taluka, measuring 504 sq mt –
belonged to the state government, while another plot, survey number 182, was
marked for a burial ground.
Gaikwad says, “Both the land parcels are located within the Roshans’ plot. I
accessed all documents pertaining to the plots in and around the one recently
bought by Sunder Bhawar Holiday Homes, and was stunned to find that two
government plots have been usurped by the company while demarcating and getting
a boundary wall sanctioned around their area.”

On the other hand, Shakir Shaikh, in-charge of the
project on the site, says that they hadn’t indulged in any illegalities on the
project. “We completed the legal formalities and started building the
compound wall.There has been no violation. If government plots were merged with
ours, why didn’t the authority claim it? There was a mention of open space
reservation but it belongs to our client,” he revealed. He said this in respect
to the fact that the documents revealed the Roshans bought the plot on December
19, 2016 and the proposal to construct a compound wall was approved by the
Lonavala Municipal Council on February 9 this year. A no-objection
certificate was granted by the MSRDC on April 3, 2017. If the property was
indeed on objectionable land, then why did they give the no objection
certificate?
Even though it seems that the Roshans have gone by the
book of law in every aspect, Gaikwad is set to take the matter to Chief
Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Gaikwad further added that he has approached the
Lonavala Municipal Council to take back the two plots from the Roshans. The
Congressman also claims that recently a balwadi and a couple of other shrines
that stood on the government plot were demolished by the Roshans.
Hrithik and Rakesh haven't yet opened up on the matter.
Let's wait and watch what they have to say.
