Mumbai:

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, against whom the BMC has filed a police complaint of alleged illegal construction, met NCP chief Sharad Pawar at the latter's residence in Mumbai on Wednesday, a source said.

The reason behind the meeting was not immediately known.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) last week filed a complaint at Juhu police station in Mumbai, seeking a case to be lodged against Mr Sood for allegedly converting a residential building into a hotel without permission.

The complaint letter was sent to the police after the BMC inspected the building and found that Mr Sood had allegedly not complied with the requisitions, and was continuing unauthorised construction even after a notice was served to him in October last year.

The police are yet to register FIR in the case.

The actor has approached the Bombay High Court to challenge the BMC's notice.
