Mumbai: The Maharashtra government is likely to approve a petition by actor Shah Rukh Khan secking a refund of around Rs 9 crore, which, according to him, is the excess payment made to the collector, Mumbai Suburban District (MSD), for the land on which his home, ‘Mannat’ stands.

The sprawling residential bungalow, jointly owned by the actor and his wife, Gauri Khan at Band Stand, Bandra West, is on a land parcel leased by the state government to the original owner, who decided to sell it to the Khans after the refund sought by actor, wife for excess payment on land where their home ‘Mannat’ stands government approved the deal.

The property, spread over 2, 446 square metres, was transferred in the names of Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan through a registered agreement. Before this, the state; being the original title holder, had levied its share of unearned income, which is calculated based on the difference between the market price and the ready reckoner price.

Later, the Khans decided to take advantage of the state government policy that allows the conversion of the leased property (Class 2) to complete ownership (Class 1). The duo paid 25 per cent of the ready reckoner price in March 2019 as per the state policy, which was calculated at approximately Rs27.50 crore.

Later, sources say, Khan found out about an ‘unintentional error’ on the part of the state government while calculating the conversion fee. It is said the value of the bungalow, instead of the piece of land, was taken into account in the process of the calculation of the conversion fee.

The ‘unintentional error’ by the authorities was noticed by the Khans in September 2022 and Gauri Khan made a representation before the collector, MSD, seeking a refund of the excess amount, which is said to be Rs9 crore. The collector has forwarded it to the state government for final approval, sources told the FPJ Once approved, the excess payment will be refunded, state officials said.

New Delhi, Jan 24: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, in a letter to the Election Commission on Friday, accused a conspiracy to physically harm AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal. She criticized Delhi Police for lapses in security and called for the reinstatement of his Punjab Police protection.

Addressing a press conference, CM Atishi alleged lapses by Delhi Police in protecting Kejriwal, who has a Z-plus security cover, and blamed BJP workers for attacking the former CM and his vehicle during campaigning on several occasions since October.

“Delhi residents love Kejriwal and they will not pardon the BJP for these acts. Every attack on Kejriwal adds to the love of the public for him,” she said, seeking restoration of Punjab Police security for Kejriwal.

She said BJP workers and the Delhi Police are working together to cause harm to Kejriwal. “Not a single person has been arrested for attacks on Kejriwal. No action has been taken against any Delhi Police personnel,” she said, seeking an audit of Kejriwal’s security arrangement and threat to him.

Atishi mentioned several instances of attacks and breach of security of Kejriwal including October 24 in Vikaspuri, November 30 in Malviya Nagar, January 18 in New Delhi constituency, and in Hari Nagar on Thursday.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said police from his state provided security to Kejriwal as there was credible input of threat to Kejriwal’s life in Punjab and Delhi.

“A Z-plus security protectee needs to be provided security wherever he goes in the country,” he said.

CM Mann said that the AAP has no faith in Delhi Police and their personnel are helping the BJP candidates.

Mann said we have approached the ECI seeking “free and fair” ground for contesting the election. “We have said that we are not satisfied with the security being provided to Kejriwal. Since the security set up in Delhi is stretched for protecting the city ahead of R-Day, we want permission to provide our security,” he said.

The Punjab Chief Minister also dismissed allegations of rival parties in Delhi that vehicles from his state were being used in the AAP campaign in the city. “They are losing the elections and their hatred for Punjabis is visible in such remarks. Are all vehicles in Delhi with number plates of other states carrying goons?” he asked.

Earlier, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said on Thursday that following instructions from the EC and the Delhi Police, they have withdrawn components of the Punjab Police deployed for the security of the former Chief Minister.

“From time to time, we get reports of threats to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal and we share them with agencies concerned. Following the directions of the Delhi police and the Election Commission today, we withdrew the component of the Punjab police in the security of Kejriwal ji,” Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav told the media in Patiala.

Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 5 and the results will be declared on February 8.
