“Kapil Sharma’s Office Being Constructed Illegally,” Says BMC In Response To His Tweets!

Kapil Sharma took to Twitter this morning to send out a couple of angry tweets to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he has to pay bribes of up to ₹ 5 lakh to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on top of his annual income tax.

But now, in a twisted turn of events, the BMC has denied acceptance of any bribes, but alleging that Kapil Sharma is illegally constructing his office despite being sent a notice by the BMC.

A BMC official was quoted as saying that the second floor which Sharma is constructing on his office is violating norms of construction.

Pawar was quoted as saying,
