Cop complaint filed in row over singer's bungalow in Bandra

MUMBAI: The police on Tuesday intervened in a dispute over the ownership of an 8,000sqft house on Pali Hill, Girnar Bungalow, and registered cross-complaints against opposing parties.
The dispute started after vocalist Sushila Rani Patel, who had the rights to the bungalow, passed away on July 24. Her will states the bungalow should pass on to a trust she had set up.But her late husband Baburao Patel’s granddaughter, Geeta Patel-D’Souza, claims she is the legal heir and has allegedly moved into the house.
On Monday, she and trust members visited the Khar police station, both alleging assault by the other party. “We have requested both the parties to approach the court,” said a senior police officer.
