Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 10 : District administration in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal demolished a double-storey alleged illegal construction on government land located in Anantpur locality here in the city on Thursday, an official said.
Speaking to ANI, Tehsildar Anurag Tripathi said, "A construction was made on government land so it is being demolished. It belonged to one Sohail, a notice was also served on his name and the construction was led by him. The notice was given to him and action (referring to demolition) was initiated after the order. It is an illegal construction on government land."
On the other hand, an advocate Khush Alam Ali claimed that the property belonged to one Rakesh Yadav and they did not receive any notice or order regarding demolition.
"The administration is acting arbitrarily. Are they doing so as the property belongs to Rakesh Yadav, who is an OBC class person? I have asked the administration to give me the order of demolition but they told me to meet in the court. What is the problem with giving me the order copy? My colleague who was making a video of the moment but the police have arrested him. It is a personal greed and deliberately working under the influence of a particular individual. They have to answer it before the High Court," the advocate said.
Besides, speaking to ANI, Rakesh Yadav claimed that the property belonged to him and he did not receive any notice about the administration's action.
When asked about the officials saying the property belongs to someone else, he said, "The property is mine and it is their misconception. I am working there so they might think such things but there is nothing like that. Electricity bill is generated on my name and Gumasta is on my name. What else proof can I present? I have not received any notice and I'm asking the same but nobody is providing me anything."
