Govt should not buy Dilip Kumar s ancestral home in KPK, says lawyer of present owner
The lawyer representing the owner of Indian film legend Dilip Kumar s ancestral home in Peshawar has advised the provincial Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to not buy the over 100-year-old haveli, as it is in a dilapidated condition and repairing it would be as costly as acquiring it.
Earlier in the month, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government had approved the release of Rs 80. 56 lakh for Kumar s ancestral home, with the aim to turn it into a museum in honour of the movie star. Gul Rahman Mohmand, the lawyer of the present building owners, in a chat with a private news channel on Tuesday, said the haveli is in an extremely dilapidated condition due to years of neglect, comparing the premises to a heap of garbage .
