Sonu Sood who has been termed as the superhero amidst 2020 for his exceptional work during the pandemic and helping the migrant workers to reach back home, has now come under the line of fire by BMC. According to a report in a leading daily, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has filed a complaint against Sonu Sood for allegedly converting a six-storey residential area into a hotel in Juhu without due permissions.

Sonu Sood has however denied these rumours and said that he had the necessary permissions and was awaiting clearance from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA). As per the report in Times Of India, the Juhu police was asked by the BMC to take cognisance of the offence under the Maharashtra Region and Town Planning (MRTP) Act. BMC’s complaint against Sonu Sood is per follows, “It has been found that Sonu Sood has instituted/commenced/undertaken/carried out development or changed the user of land. Unauthorised addition/alterations beyond the approved plan and unauthorised change of user from residential to residential hotel building without taking technical sanction from the competent authority.”

Sonu Sood has given his stance and his statement and spoken to Times Of India saying, “I have taken approval for change of use from the BMC. It was subject to the approval of the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority. This permission hasn’t come due to Covid-19. There are no irregularities. I always abide by the law. This hotel was used to house Covid-19 warriors during the pandemic. If permissions don’t come, I will restore it back to a residential structure. I am appealing against the BMC’s complaint in the Bombay HC.”
