Rishi Kapoor to get a show cause notice for axing a tree!

Recently, actor Rishi Kapoor who has received a show cause notice from the Brihan Mumbai Corporation (BMC) after they filed a complaint against the actor and a contractor for cutting a tree after taking permission to trim it.

Rishi Kapoor, who had a bungalow in Pali Hill, had destroyed it to construct a building. The senior actor who is presently residing in Bandra had procured permission for its construction and also hired a contractor for the work.

As per to a famous tabloid, BMC in its complaint has alleged that "they (actor and contractor) had trimmed the tree more than the permitted level and removed all its branches. It is a serious incident which requires a detailed inquiry, so police should register a case against the actor and contractor under the Maharashtra Protection and Preservation of Trees Act".

But, talking to a famous tabloid, Rishi explained that he was unaware of the development and he had sought permission for trimming the tree so that it cannot obstruct movement of heavy machines during the construction work.

"I am not supposed to be at the site all the time and am unaware about it. The contractor may have done it unintentionally, how come I am responsible for it? I am just being victimized unnecessarily time and again by some vested interests. I am seeking legal recourse to put an end to this harassment," told Rishi.


In the meantime, Assistance municipal commissioner (H-West ward) told, "We have issued a show-cause notice and informed police. We requested police to investigate the matter and take action under provisions of the Trees Act."
