Pune: Walmik Karad, a key suspect in the Beed extortion case, paid his outstanding property taxes of a flat to the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) on Wednesday. The payment was made online in the evening, following news that the civic body planned to seal and auction the property had gone viral.
The property is owned by Walmik Karad and Manjali Karad.
The luxurious flat with an estimated market value of ₹1 crore is registered in the name of Karad and his wife Manjiri Walmik Karad.
As per the PCMC tax department records, the property — Flat number 601, Park Street, Park Ivory Phase-2 on Aundh Road in Wakad — has been registered since June 16, 2021, and pending property tax dues is over ₹1.55 lakh.
Avinash Shinde, deputy commissioner of PCMC and head of tax department, said, “We had issued an attached warrant on November 21, 2024 to the owner of the property. The period of 21 days was over and we had decided to take further action to seal and auction the flat. However, the Karads paid the dues in the evening through an online transaction.”
