Former Vadodara BJP councillor Vijay Pawarrese raised this issue on June 13, 2024 and alleged that Yusuf Pathan had illegally occupied the Municipal Corporation plot next to his residence.
The Pathan family's bungalow is located in Vadodara's Tandlaja area. Right next to his bungalow is the Vadodara Municipal Corporation's "TOWN PLANNING 22 FINAL PLOT 90".
In 2012, Yusuf Pathan had demanded this plot from the corporation to build his stable. The corporation had passed a resolution and gave permission to allot this plot to Yusuf Pathan, but when this request reached Gandhinagar in 2014, the state government rejected this request and refused to give this plot. Yusuf Pathan has been accused of occupying this plot by building a compound wall. (ANI)
