Yusuf Pathan gets gift from Gujarat govt

The Gujarat government has approved a proposal to allot a 978-square-metre plot in Vadodara to former Indian cricketer Yusuf Pathan. The plot, owned by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation, will see 500 square metres gifted to Pathan for residential use, while the remaining 478 square metres will be transferred at a concessional rate. The plot, valued at Rs 20.53 crore, has been a subject of controversy since 2012 when Pathan initially sought a 99-year lease for security reasons.
