India, April 27 -- Amid a heavy police and private security presence, a Special General Meeting (SGM) was held on Sunday at the Bombay Taximens Colony at Kurla to appoint a builder for redevelopment. The meeting, which went on from 5 pm to 10 pm, saw the appointment of Sayba Spaces, a firm in which Nitesh Singh, a BJP corporator and son of BJP MLC Rajhans Singh, is a partner.
