Bhojpuri superstar Khesari Lal Yadav is facing legal trouble over alleged illegal construction at his Mumbai residence. This development occurs as he actively campaigns for the Bihar assembly elections.
Yadav, an RJD candidate, is contesting from the Chhapra constituency. Voters will cast their ballots in the first phase of the elections tomorrow, November 6.
The Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) in Thane, Mumbai, has issued a demolition notice to the actor. The notice pertains to illegal construction at his bungalow located on Mira Road.
News agency ANI reported that the notice instructs Yadav to dismantle the unauthorized structures himself. Failure to comply will result in the municipality undertaking the demolition and recovering all associated costs from him.
The notice, dated November 3, identifies the property near the Junya petrol pump on Mira Road. It specifies that construction standards were violated at the bungalow, which belongs to Shatrughan Kumar Yadav, also known as Khesari Lal Yadav.
This legal challenge presents a dilemma for the superstar amidst his critical election campaign. It raises questions about whether he will need to return to Mumbai to address the property issue.
Yadav is engaged in a tight race for the Chhapra seat. He faces a strong challenge from BJP candidate Choti Kumari.
The Chhapra constituency is traditionally a stronghold for the BJP. However, Khesari Lal Yadav’s significant popularity promises a highly competitive contest.
