"Continuing with its exercise to reclaim government land over which unauthorised occupation and illegal construction has been done, the DDA on Friday demolished the farmhouse of high-profile liquor baron late Ponty Chadha alias Gurdeep Singh, spread over about 10 acres in Chhatarpur worth about ₹ 400 crore," the DDA officials said.
The demolition drive claimed five acres of land on Friday. According to the officials, the main building over the remaining land of the farmhouse was demolished on Saturday.
Ponty Chadha and his younger brother Hardeep were reportedly killed during a shootout on a South Delhi farmhouse in 2012, allegedly involving the estranged siblings and their respective allies over a property dispute. However, no response has been received so far from Chadha’s Wave Group.
According to the DDA officials, during an earlier demolition drive in northeast Delhi, which took place between January 13 and January 17, unlawful encroachments, including commercial showrooms, on around four acres of land were demolished.
