UP orders probe into Mayawati bungalow allotment

The Uttar Pradesh estate department on Saturday ordered a probe into the allotment of the 6, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, bungalow to BSP chief Mayawati in 2011 when she was the CM. However, the probe has been initiated by the department after finding anomalies in the allotment order of the posh property.

Mayawati, in her letter written to the UP CM six days ago, had confronted the eviction notice issued to her by the estate department to vacate 13A Mall Avenue.

UP estate officer Yogesh Shukla said anomalies were found in the order allotting the 6, LBS Marg bungalow to Mayawati since its dispatch number was the same as the one issued in the name of another allottee, Rekha Tanveer.

She was allotted an apartment in Dalibagh Colony. "An inquiry has been initiated," Shukla said. He said as per their records, the 13-A Mall Avenue bungalow was allotted to Mayawati.
