Khan Chacha was established by Haji Banda Hasan, popularly known as "Khan Chacha" in 1972. In 2010, Mr. Hasan joined hands with Kalra. However, the partnership split in 2016. The two sides fought a bitter court battle over 'Khan Chacha trademark.’ #NavneetKalra #Delhi #Oxygen

Kalra claimed that the Hasan family had signed over the rights to the brand name to him, while the latter alleged that Kalra's documents were "forged and fabricated." However, the brand name is currently being used by Kalra. #NavneetKalra #Delhi #COVID19India #DelhiPolice

The 38-year-old businessman is married to Kitty Kalra, a self-proclaimed pilates expert, and motivational speaker. She is a fitness anchor for Hotstar and Airtel Digital TV's channel. Her Instagram pictures show the couple vacationing in international holiday destinations. #Delhi

In 2006, Congress had nominated Kalra for an "out of turn" permanent member of the Delhi Golf Club. In February 2020, Kalra was among the 50 people felicitated as 'Delhi ke Nirmata' (the makers of Delhi) by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. #ArvindKejriwal #NavneetKalra

According to Delhi Police, Kalra was importing oxygen concentrators from China and selling them at exorbitant rates after approaching buyers on WhatsApp. Buyers stood outside Khan Chacha to purchase the concentrators in the range of Rs. 60,000-80,000. #NavneetKalra #delhi

A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed his anticipatory bail plea in the case of alleged hoarding and black marketing of oxygen concentrators in the city. Kalra is currently absconding. #NavneetKalra #delhi #DelhiHighCourt #khanchacha
