On the other hand, the opponents identified as Ashok Nathuji Khade and his family claimed that they have won a long pending case from the High Court and hence, they are rightful orders. The Khade family claimed that they had come to reclaim their property along with a Court Bailiff. However, their action of forcibly trying to oust the present residents using force and damaging property is seen as taking law into their own hands.

However, sources also claimed that Suraj Ahir is said to be a distant relative of Mumbai Don Arun Gawli. It is also claimed that Arun Gawli’s son had contacted some local goons and some big minister and tried to intervene into the matter so that Suresh Ahir gets favour from law and judiciary.
