The Beed Municipal Council has issued notices to individuals linked to Prahlad Vithalrao Kulkarni, a key accused in the NEET-UG paper leak case, over an unauthorised construction in Shahunagar.

The Beed Municipal Council in Maharashtra has issued notices to the concerned persons with regard to an unauthorised construction linked to Prahlad Vithalrao Kulkarni, one of the key accused in the NEET-UG paper leak case, an official said on Thursday.

The structure is located in Shahunagar area of the city, said chief officer of the council Shailesh Fanase.

Kulkarni was arrested by the CBI from Pune earlier this week in the paper leak case.

An inquiry revealed that the construction in Shahunagar had allegedly commenced without obtaining mandatory approvals from the civic body and violated norms by failing to leave the required open spaces, Fanase said.

Subsequently, a team led by Town Planner Baliram Mohite and Recovery Department head V T Tidake conducted a site inspection on Tuesday evening, he said, adding that further action will be taken as per the law.
