In more trouble for stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma, who has kicked up a row through his bribe tweet, Oshiwara police has registered an FIR against him for alleged unauthorised construction at his flat in suburban Goregaon.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) sub-engineer had lodged a complaint at Oshiwara police station in this regard.
Based on the complaint, Sharma was booked under section 53(7) of Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act (MRTP) 1966, the police official said.
Besides Sharma’s flat, the municipal body has found violations in 15 other flats in the building and has already served notices to their owners.
Sharma had kicked up a controversy last week by alleging that he had been asked to pay a bribe of Rs 5 lakh by an official of BMC which, in turn, claimed that the actor had flouted norms in his Versova office building and his apartment in suburban Goregaon.
