Even in death Parveen Babi cannot escape her greedy relatives and its heart-breaking to see her relatives still trying to exploit the actress. According to CNN IBN, a fellow names Muradkhan Babi has moved the Bombay High Court and
he claims that he was named as a beneficiary by the actress.
Excerpts from CNN IBN:
Muradkhan said he could not come forward to claim the property on the day Babi died as his wife passed away on the same day.
His counsel told the court that Babi's property was not being taken care of. Her property currently in the custody of the State Administrator General (SAG).
The maintenance of her Rs 1.5-crore flat was not paid even though a fixed deposit and a bank account amounting to Rs 20 lakh was in the SAG's custody.
Muradkhan has urged the court to appoint a receiver to manage the assets. Justice D K Deshmukh has adjourned the hearing to February 23.
The SAG took over the management of Babi's assets in February 2005 after the Juhu police station informed it that no relatives had come forward to claim the property.
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who was closely associated with late Babi, told PTI, "I have not heard of any relative named Muradkhan during my friendship with her. As far as my knowledge goes, she died without a will."
