AIMIM Corporator's Home Linked to TCS Case Accused Faces Demolition in Nashik
The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has issued a show-cause notice to AIMIM corporator Matin Patel, threatening the demolition of his properties, including the residence where Nida Khan, an accused in the Nashik TCS case, was recently apprehended. Mayor Sameer Rajurkar stated that preliminary investigations indicate illegal construction at Patel’s bungalow in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and a nearby office. Patel has been given three days to respond; failure to provide a satisfactory explanation may result in the razing of the structures. Furthermore, under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, proven involvement in illegal construction could lead to the cancellation of Patel’s membership as a corporator. Nida Khan had been absconding since April 10 before her arrest on May 7 at Patel’s property. Patel, a first-time corporator and businessman, has approached a local court seeking a 15-day extension to respond and requesting a stay on coercive actions. This development adds legal pressure to Patel, who previously faced controversy over an alleged objectionable video. The civic body emphasizes adherence to municipal laws regarding unauthorized constructions while monitoring the potential disqualification proceedings against the elected representative.
