INDIANS PROTEST BACHCHAN LAND PURCHASE
Bollywood superstar AMITABH BACHCHAN’s latest land purchase in Barabanki, India, has prompted a petition from locals.
Residents from the Barabanki district filed a public lawsuit in the llahabad High Court on Tuesday (10OCT06) claiming the BLACK star had concealed his identity when buying 20,000 square metres (215,278 square feet) of government land.
Petitioner SATYA NARAIN SHUKLA has urged the court to examine the "wilful concealment and misrepresentation of facts" by the actor.
Shukla says, "In an obvious bid to avoid identification, Bachchan has mentioned his name as just Amitabh and has dropped Bachchan even from his father’s name." JUDGE JAGDISH BHALLA has scheduled a hearing for 16 October (06).
