Municipal Corporation Of Delhi — Unauthorised construction; no action by MCD and Police

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi, 110018

Illegal unauthorized construction at 11/70A first floor tilak nagar bew delhi 110018.
We, both wife and husband are senior citizen aged 67+ and 72+ respectively are also in poor health and suffering from arthritis. My wife has undergone Knee transplant surgery; she has spondilitis and scoliosis of the spine (for which she has been advised surgery). She has to struggle to even complete activities of daily living. I am a chronic hypertensive patient and I have also undergone knee transplant surgery.

My complaint is regarding my neighbor “Mr. Navneet Singh Bawa” residing on the first floor of the same building (11/70A, Tilak Nagar). We are being harassed by him time and again. He says that “I am the BADMASH of the area” and we should accept his nuisance without saying a word against him. He is doing all this just to kick us out of our property and use it for commercial purposes.

We are living under repeated threats and advances by this person.

He has started unauthorized construction by extending the outer boundary of the front wall of the house, wants to create a glass structure for placing mannequins and create a cloth showroom at first floor. His is also planning to construct an iron staircase from in front of our entry door to his first floor. We have been requesting him not to do so but he fails to understand and in return threatens us of dire consequences. He has dumped all the malba in front of our door (pic attached). We can’t even move out from our house.

He also creates hindrances in front of my house by blocking the way by parking his car and scooter right in front of the door. On requesting him to not to do this he hurls bad words at us and treats us as if we have committed some sin by requesting him. My wife needs space to walk, to exercise as prescribed by doctors but she has been confined to the walls of the house just because he refuses to leave the way for her. It becomes difficult for us to pass through the way and as stated earlier as we both are suffering from chronic knee disease, we always are at the risk of falling down. I feel miserable that I can’t help my wife regain her health just because of his nuisance. He doesn’t even realize that we are his parent’s age and have compromised health. We are suffering every second just because of his tantrums.

Not only this, he is also habitual of throwing waste and spit in our shaft made for ventilation. If we complain he starts abusing using harsh words that I feel shy to even explain.

He just does what he feels like doing like bursting crackers in the staircase at mid night.

On one instance he broke the glass of our “roshandaan”
located at the staircase.
He plays loud music at any time of day or night just to disturb our peace of mind.

It’s not only us, other neighbors are also facing such issues with him but are quiet just because no one wants to stand against him as he warns of horrible consequences.

At once instance he had some fight with a trader of mangal bazaar for which he was taken to the police station. He picks up quarrels every now and then with anybody just to show his false supremacy and satisfy his ego. For doing this he can go to any extent.

On 13/Nov/2014, we had to call police to intervene when he tried to block our entrance of the house by not only parking his car and scooter but also putting a chain across. Assistant Sub Inspector Mr. Ved Pal who came to on the complaint assured me that he will take strict action.

Instead of apologizing on questioning by the police he tried to accuse me of saying bad words to his mother. However after probing further and talking to both the sides, by the grace of god and intelligence of the officer he understood who was at fault. He gave him a strict warning and also gave his number to us. I thought that this will change things but on the contrary nothing seems to deter him.

Nothing seems to have been done till now as there is no improvement noticed so far. He has just removed the chain from one end and the car and the scooter are still parked there and he shouted bad words again at us on the same night standing at our entrance. He says that “now that you have called the police I will make your life miserable. I won’t let you live peacefully. Just watch what I can do. If not directly, I will do it indirectly”

I fear that he can play any tactic(s) to entangle me/us in any nuisance/false case and can also harm us physically because of his criminal like thinking. He can go to any extent and entangle me and my family in any kind of false case.

I am forced to keep my entrance closed all the time and cannot move freely out of my house since I want to avoid him completely since he has the habit of passing lewd comments. I fear a threat to my daughters family too since they also live nearby and a visit us every day. These incidents have disturbed their lives too. They are also living under immense pressure and are always worried about us.

We are forced to live with compromised physical mobility and our social interaction has been reduced to a bare minimum. I perceive this as a direct threat to our lives and property.

As said earlier, I am a chronic hypertensive patient. Apart from medications, I have been advised to avoid any anxiety and stress. But just because of this person I am forced to live under regular threats which lead to continuous worry and anxiety. It is impossible to control blood pressure when one lives under such conditions and long lasting high blood pressure has harmful effects to health. My health has further deteriorated in past few months. I hold him responsible for this and if anything happens to me, my wife and daughters family in future he should be held responsible for the same.

We both are retired government servants. We have served the nation all through our lives and have been law abiding citizens of India. I regret that at this stage of my life I am struggling to lead just a peaceful life. Our condition is miserable, while he roams and acts freely even after being a law breaker we the law abiding citizens are forced to be confined to our house. We are afraid that he might hatch a criminal conspiracy against us.

We both wonder what wrong have we done to suffer at this juncture of our lives.

DO WE DESERVE THIS KIND OF TREATMENT?

ARE WE NOT ELIGIBLE TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE?

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN DIGNITY AND SECURITY FREE FROM EXPLOITATION AND MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE?

IS IT NOT OUR RIGHT TO HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FACILITY TO HELP US MAINTAIN OPTIMUM LEVEL OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING?

IS MY FAMILY BOUND TO LIVE AT THE MERCY OF A CRIMINAL MINDED PERSON TO LEAD A NORMAL LIFE?

ARE WE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH FROM THE SOCIETY AND THIS PERSON TO LET US LIVE A CALM QUIET AND PEACEFUL LIFE?

Today (09/MAR/2017) morning I have complained on # 100 and senior citizen help line but no one has turned up for our help as yet. Is this the way our esteemed police work??? that too for a senior citizen.

I am writing this complaint as a last resort, I somehow still believe in the institution of police. It is requested to kindly take strong action against this type of person for our safety before he directly or indirectly commits any crime against us and we are victimized.

I am copying this complaint to all I can so that at least someone will have the wisdom to help us.

Anticipating a prompt and strict action.
