I have heard many things about Govinda Tandon too. At one time he was supposed to be very close to Queen Aiswarya, who was head of the Pashupati Development Trust. At that time Tandon was a member of the Pashupati Development Trust, he resigned from the Trust after the death of the queen due to some internal bickering. He is said to have made crores by illegally taking over the lands belonging to Pashupati Nath Temple Guthi and selling them. Someone told me," Look at his chauffer driven luxury car, look at the palatial Bunglow he is constructing somewhere in KTM. Where did all the money come from?". Ditto Tandon is also said to be instrumental in selling Guthi lands belonging to a temple in Battisputali to private owners. Like the hotel belonging to Indira Shrestha in Battisputtali (I forgot its name) is also built on Guthi land.
