DLTA Seeks Rs 39 Crore from AITA Trust Amid Scrutiny of Anil Khanna's Land Deals
The Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA) seeks recovery of Rs 39 crore plus interest from the AITA Trust, alleging misuse of stadium rental income linked to agreements made during Anil Khanna's tenure as chairman of both bodies. DLTA claims Khanna abused his multiple roles to benefit the Trust through unauthorized agreements, while the AITA Trust and current chairman Anil Jain deny wrongdoing, asserting the agreements were valid and the matter is subject to arbitration. Additionally, land transactions involving Khanna's companies and the Trust are under scrutiny due to delayed ownership transfers and interest payments.
