The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday started the demolition of structural violations carried out actor Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika Films Pvt Ltd office in Bandra, Mumbai.
A civic squad has reached the spot to carry out the demolitions.
"We will carry out the demolition work on Wednesday over the structural violations carried out at Ranaut's office at Pali Hill. Further action will be taken after the demolition process," said Vinayak Vispute, assistant municipal commissioner of BMC of Bandra jurisdiction.
BMC had issued a notice to Ranaut on Tuesday over several structural violations and asked her to respond within 24 hours and take corrective measures, failing which the illegal portions would be demolished.
As per the civic rules, any structure has to be built in line with the plan submitted to the local authorities. Any illegal changes in the plan or alterations in the structure attract legal action.
Ranaut tweeted about the incident saying they are "illegally" breaking it down.
"As I am all set for a Mumbai darshan on my way to the airport, Maharashtra government and their goons are at my property. They are all set to illegally break it down. Go on! I promised to give blood for Maharashtra's pride. This is nothing. Take everything, but my spirit will only soar higher," she tweeted on Wednesday morning.
Ranaut has been involved in a bitter war of words with Maharashtra's ruling Shiv Sena, which also controls the BMC, over her remarks likening Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The Maharashtra government had also said that it will be probing into allegations made by her purported boyfriend Adhyayan Suman in an interview three years ago that Ranaut did drugs and also compelled him to consume the same.
