Mumbai/Nashik, June 24: A police complaint has been registered against Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai and several others, including chairman of wind power company, Suzlon, Tulsibai Tanti for illegal purchase of land at Nandurbar district in north Maharashtra.
The complaint was lodged by a farmer, Anand Lala Thakare, who alleged that his land was purchased for a sum of Rs 20,000 and illegally transferred in Suzlon company’s name.
“We have received the complaint and have called for the land documents from the revenue department after which a preliminary inquiry would be conducted to see if any offence is made out,” Keshav Patil, superintendent of police, Nandurbar district said.
Thakare in his complaint has alleged that his land was illegally usurped by Suzlon company for setting up a windmill.
According to Thakare, Sarjan Realties had taken his land on agreement-basis, but the company allegedly transferred it illegally in Suzlon’s name and rendered him landless.
The company is setting up a wind power project at village Dhandane in Nandurbar district. The actor is a shareholder of the company.
The state government has ordered a probe into the land deal in tribal-dominated Dhule and Nandurbar districts. Suzlon has termed the allegations as “unjustified and baseless.” The actor was not available for comments.
