Swami Agnivesh illegally grabs Delhi plot,NO rent for 20 yrs

New Delhi, Nov 14: Swami Agnivesh, former aide of Anna Hazare who started fighting against corruption, has been landed in a legal row when it came in the notice that the monk illegally grabbed a huge plot in Delhi and did not pay house rent for last 20 years.

Agnivesh, who recently ended his two-day stint on reality show Bigg Boss, allegedly has been occupying the plot at Delhi's Lutyens' Bungalow Zone illegally.

The managing trustee of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Trust (SVBPT) which owns the property, Viresh Pratap Choudhary accused Agnivesh in the illegal plot grabbing case.

Giving information on the issue, Mr Choudhary said, "Former PM Chandrashekhar requested me to accommodate Swami Agnivesh for a few days. But he never moved out."

Making comment on Agnivesh, the amused person also added, "He told me, sadhu log jaha jaate hai, wahi bas jaate hai (monks settle down wherever they go)."

Despite such shocking reports which have enough ammunition to mar Agnivesh's image, neither the self-styled social reformer nor any concerned official from his organisation made any official statement on the issue.
