The BMC has filed a police complaint against Bollywood star Sonu Sood for allegedly converting the six-storey Shakti Sagar residential building in Juhu into a hotel without the necessary permissions. The actor has, however, denied the allegations.
According to reports, Sood maintains that he had the necessary permissions and was only awaiting clearance from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA).
It was reported that the BMC asked the Juhu police to take cognisance of the offence under the Maharashtra Region and Town Planning (MRTP) Act. In a report on TOI, the BMC s complaint stated, 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 competent authority.
