Internal tussle within the Bombay Parsi Punchayat took an ugly turn this week, after a spat between its trustee Noshir Dadrawala and chairman Yazdi Desai went public. On Friday, Dadrawala had forwarded a message on WhatsApp, raising allegations against Desai and his wife, Anahita. Soon after, Desai released his response to the allegations.

Dadrawala had claimed that Desai had registered a leave and license agreement for the allotment of a BPP flat with just his name, without the approval from two of the trustees, as stipulated in the rule-book. He went on to allege that Desai had favoured a non-Parsi, since he wanted to offer her the ownership of a flat in Borivli. He also raised objections against the involvement of Desai's wife, Anahita, and referred to her as a "shadow chairperson".
