Aamir Khan denies charges of forcibly evicting residents

 

Mumbai: Bollywood star Aamir Khan on Friday rejected allegations of misconduct and pressure tactics in connection with a redevelopment plan for his Pali Hill housing society amid claims that the members were being forced by him to sell their property.

 

A mother and daughter, residents of the society where Aamir lived previously, alleged that the society’s managing committee was misleading homeowners and pressuring them to sell their property to Aamir.

 

“We would like to clarify on behalf of our client, Mr Aamir Khan that he denies all allegations regarding him putting any pressure on his society to go in for redevelopment,” the actor’s spokesman said in a statement.

 

He clarified that the general body passed a resolution with 80 per cent members voting in favour of redevelopment. Thereafter, the society made a request in writing to Khan to make an offer.
