Mumbai's Pratibha Tower Linked to 1984 Scam Set for 179-Metre Redevelopment
Mumbai's Pratibha Cooperative Housing Society, once linked to a 1984 construction scam involving inflated plot-area declarations, is set for redevelopment. The original 36-storey building, where singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle owned flats, had its top eight illegal floors demolished in the 1990s and was fully razed in 2019. A new 179.4-metre, 33-floor luxury skyscraper with residential apartments and recreational facilities is planned for the site near Sophia College in South Mumbai.
