Amitabh Bachchan buys land in Ayodhya again

The report states that the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Trust, which was formed in 2013 in honour of Amitabh’s father, purchased the land. It is 54,454 square feet and is the second land he has bought there. On January 16 last year, the actor bought a piece of land at Haveli Avadh. The transaction was valued at ₹4.54 crore then.

Pratap Singh, the assistant inspector general of the stamp and registration department of Ayodhya, confirmed to the publication, “We can only confirm that sale deeds have taken place. Once the building plan is approved by the local development authority, one would know what is going to be the purpose of the two investments.”

Both the land deals were reportedly done by Rajesh Rishikesh Yadav on behalf of the actor. They also quoted a source as saying that the land in Haveli Avadh would be used for residential purposes while the bigger land bought now would be used for charitable purposes.
