The Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar civic administration in Maharashtra has issued a demolition notice to AIMIM corporator Mateen Patel, alleging that his house in Naregaon is an illegal construction. This action follows the arrest of TCS employee Nida Khan, who was found hiding at Patel's residence on May 7. Khan is implicated in a serious FIR where she is accused of being raped and converted by her colleagues. Following her arrest, the civic body pasted a notice on Patel's 600-square-foot house, giving him three days to respond. Patel has since approached the Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar court to contest the legality of the notice, requesting an extension of 15 days to reply. Additionally, the civic administration is considering disqualifying Patel under Section 10(d) of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, which addresses unauthorized constructions. The situation has escalated political tensions, with allegations from the BJP and Shiv Sena that the AIMIM party is backing Khan. Meanwhile, Khan has been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody following her court appearance.
