Veteran actress and wife of Dilip Kumar, Saira Banu, has taken her word to Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a hope that he will help to save her husband's bungalow from the land mafia.
In her recent tweet, she has slammed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for not taking any action despite giving assurances.
“Request from Saira Banu Khan: To the Hon’ble @PMOIndia Shri @narendramodi awaiting for an appointment. I am tired of repeated assurances from CM @Dev_Fadnavis “I AM TRYING“ Sir you are the last hope of protecting DILIP SAHAB’s only house from Land Mafia Samir Bhojwani. I beg”
Saira Banu had sought an audience with the PM to discuss the issue following the builder's release from jail. As per reports, Bhojwani had falsely claimed ownership of the two plots in upscale Pali Hill area of Bandra on which the actor's bungalow is situated.
In a statement, Banu stated, “Modi has directed Fadnavis to sort out the issue as soon as possible. We are hopeful that the Prime Minister will look into the matter and I hope our kind Chief Minister will also look into it and take due action. For the last three months, the CM has been promising me that he will talk to Bhojwani and resolve the issue. I hope he will stick to his words and do the needful.”
Furthermore detailing about the dispute, the actress added, "We have been facing this court dispute and harassment by Samir Bhojwani for the last 10-12 years. This man (Samir Bhojwani) is an expert at land grabbing, forgery and fraudulent cases. He is doing these things because he has muscle power and money. He has big political connections, and therefore, no one is willing to take action against him. Bhojwani has violated BMC guidelines but they have not taken any action against him”.
"Earlier, he wanted to build a cottage for his sister in front of our residence. At that time, we gave him permission. After that, we went out of Mumbai for two-three months and when we returned, we saw that he had built a two-three storey building instead of a cottage, and while doing so he had violated BMC rules but no one has taken any kind of action against him. The entire world knows that this is Dilip Kumar Saab's residence so how can he trespass on that land? He knows that Dilip Saab has health issues and because of all this stress his health has deteriorated even more."
In December 2017, Saira Banu had lodged a police complaint alleging that Bhojwani was threatening and harassing her and Dilip Kumar over the property. Following the complaint, the Mumbai police had arrested Bhojwani.
