Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and father Rakesh Roshan’s Khandala estate is currently under government scrutiny, post an RTI query by a former Congress president of the Khandala area, Kiran Gaikwad. As per reports, Kiran Gaikwad said one of the plots - survey number 181B, Maval Taluka, measuring 504 sq mt - belonged to the state government that includes another plot, survey number 182, which is meant for a burial ground.
However, Shakir Shaikh, official spokesperson and in-charge of the project, said that the Roshans did not indulge in any illegal activities to acquire the land. “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,” said Shaikh.
Sachin Pawar, The Lonavala Municipal chief executive officer, said the council will look into the matter and scrutinise the documents.
