Manu Bhaker is being talked about not only in India but all over the world in the Paris Olympics. After winning two bronze medals, Manu has made India proud. It is believed that there is a guru behind any sports star, who makes him capable of achieving success. Manu's coach is Samaresh Jung. But his troubles have increased. His house can be demolished. Samaresh, who himself was an Olympian, has a house in Civil Lines of the capital Delhi. The Land and Development Office (LNDO) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has given him a notice. It has been claimed in the notice that the land on which his house is built belongs to the Ministry of Defense. Therefore, his house is illegal.

When Samaresh returned to India from the Paris Olympics, he was shocked. He found out that the house in which he and his family had been living for the last 75 years was illegal. He has only 48 hours to vacate it. Surprisingly, Manu Bhaker's coach Samaresh himself has won many medals in the Olympics.

Samaresh Jung has won many medals

Samaresh won seven gold medals, five silver and two bronze medals in the Commonwealth Games 2006 and 2010. He was also given the nickname 'Goldfinger'. After receiving a notice for illegal occupation of the house, he said that he needed at least two months to pack his belongings and leave. Samaresh has also been awarded the Arjuna Award.

What did Jung say?

While talking to the media, he said, "I don't know why this demolition is happening. Why are people's houses being demolished? They suddenly declared the entire colony illegal. My family has been living in this place for the last 75 years. We went to the court and filed a petition, but that too was rejected".

Samaresh Jung's house is in Civil Lines area and he said that 200 families have been ordered to vacate the house within two days. The case is to be heard in the Delhi High Court. Expressing confidence in the court, he further said that I am not above the law and if the law says so, then I will vacate the house.
