Daler Mehndi, known for popularising Punjabi pop and Bhangra internationally, has been associated with substantial land holdings in Haryana. The singer’s reported properties in and around Sohna, near Gurugram, have also drawn attention over the years. While one farmhouse is linked to environmental violations, another reportedly faced municipal action in 2013.According to a Hindustan Times report, the singer owns a farmhouse in Sohna, located around 25 kilometres from Gurugram. Reports have also attributed approximately 112 acres of land in the region to him. Details about the properties include a farmhouse near Damdama Lake and an earlier 10-acre estate that became part of a municipal action.
Farmhouse located near Damdama Lake
One property associated with Daler Mehndi is a 1.5-acre farmhouse near Damdama Lake in Sohna. The property is situated in the Aravalli region, which is known for its natural surroundings. Its location also places it relatively close to the rapidly developing Gurugram area.However, the farmhouse has reportedly faced action from local authorities over alleged environmental violations. The Gurugram district administration and the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) sealed the property. The action was reportedly taken over violations of regulations associated with the National Green Tribunal (NGT).The 2013 action involving a 10-acre farmhouseDaler Mehndi was previously linked to a land dispute in Sohna that came into focus in 2013. During that period, the Sohna Municipal Council took possession of his reported 10-acre farmhouse. The operation was carried out with police assistance.The action was part of a larger effort by the authorities to reclaim hundreds of acres of farmland allegedly occupied by influential individuals. The municipal council acted following directions from the sub-divisional magistrate.
Dispute over village common land
The wider case involved approximately 1,900 acres of shamlat deh, which refers to village common land. The land had allegedly been transferred to private parties through irregularities involving revenue department officials. Some buyers later sold the plots to prominent individuals and real estate developers at substantial prices.The Sohna Municipal Council had filed a case under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act in June 2011. The proceedings targeted properties allegedly built or occupied on land that had been transferred unlawfully. Daler Mehndi’s reported farmhouse was among the properties covered by the action.
Another property reference in West Delhi
Daler Mehndi has also been mentioned in references connected to Nihal Vihar, Chander Vihar and Khushi Ram Park in Nangloi, West Delhi. However, these references do not establish the existence of an active farmhouse or a current residential estate belonging to the singer in that locality.According to Just Dial information, the area is associated with neighbourhood businesses, including small shops and eateries around 50-foot Road. Therefore, the West Delhi connection should be treated separately from the reported properties in Sohna. The available details do not confirm ownership of a celebrity estate at this location.
