'Illegal' Structures Razed at Properties of AIMIM Leader Accused of Sheltering TCS Case Accused
Officials said the corporation used nearly 100 personnel and earthmovers after serving notices on May 9 over alleged illegal construction and sheltering an accused.
- On Wednesday, the Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar Municipal Corporation demolished the house and office of AIMIM Corporator Matin Patel in Kausar Baug, citing alleged unauthorized construction.
- Authorities targeted the structures after Nida Khan, an accused in the Nashik Tata Consultancy Services case, was arrested on May 7 from a bungalow allegedly owned by Patel.
- Patel's family sought 15 days to respond to the three-day notice, arguing the demolition violated Supreme Court safeguards against punitive actions, but officials proceeded anyway.
- Former AIMIM MP Imtiaz Jaleel criticized the civic body's "haste" during a Tuesday night protest, promising supporters the party would rebuild a larger structure for Patel.
- Mayor Sameer Rajurkar indicated officials may pursue disqualifying Patel under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act if investigations confirm he concealed illegal construction during his election.
