Case of Bishankhedi’s Vintage Villa Marriage Garden
Municipal Corporation had attached property tax of Rs 82 lakh on January 4 due to outstanding.
Bhopal. Vintage Villa Marriage Garden located on Sehore Road was attached by the Municipal Corporation due to outstanding property tax of Rs 82 lakh. Instead of collecting property tax, the garden operator reopened the garden by breaking the lock. When the corporation staff inquired, the operator said that ‘the birds used to sit on the lock, they tore the sealing cloth.’
Even the Municipal Corporation officers were shocked after hearing the strange logic of the operator. The operator could not even explain how events like birthday parties and marriages were being organized at the property which had been sealed.
The operator earned more than Rs 50 lakh
According to the corporation staff, around 15 functions have taken place here since the attachment. It is estimated that the operator has earned more than Rs 50 lakh during this period.

FIR not registered
The corporation had sent the file to senior officials to register an FIR against the marriage garden operator two weeks ago, but no decision has been taken yet. This matter also raises questions on the functioning of the Municipal Corporation.
