An allegedly illegal construction at a housing society belonging to a local BJP leader was bulldozed by the district administration here on Thursday.

The women of the society had complained to the administration about the illegal construction by the BJP leader and had also protested against this illegal construction two days ago.

Satya Prakash Singh alias Akhand Singh, BJP's district unit vice president, was accused of encroaching the society's land.

He had secretly got an illegal construction done in the Varuna Enclave Society of Sikraul which was demolished in the presence of the police and authority officials following the instructions of the vice-chairman of the authority, zonal officer of Varanasi Development Authority, Parmanand Yadav said.

VDA vice chairperson Isha Duhan said a room was built illegally occupying a portion of the Varuna Enclave Society, against which a complaint was given to the authority in the first week of June. -- PTI
