Hassan’s house, located in Delhi’s Khajoori Khas, was among several demolished structures during the DDA’s operation. Hassan was reportedly taken into police custody at the time of the demolition.

DGCA issued a show cause notice to the carrier, which submitted its response to the watchdog on February 20.

The DDA had said on Wednesday that the demolition drive was carried out on land that was ”part of planned development land”. Police said several structures built illegally were demolished during the drive.
