Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Thursday filed a police complaint against actor Sonu Sood on charges of allegedly converting a six-storey residential building into a hotel.
The BMC alleges that the actor has not taken necessary permissions to convert the building. The BMC has said that action will be taken against Sood under the Maharashtra Region and Town Planning (MRTP) Act.
The BMC has accused the actor of increasing the portion of the building. The BMC said in its complaint, “It has been found that Sonu Sood himself has made changes in the use of the land. Apart from this, the residential building has been converted into a residential hotel building by making additional construction beyond the approve plan.”
