'BMC Demolished Property In Owner's Absence, Notice Illegal': Kangana Ranaut's Lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui

Kangana Ranaut's Mumbai Property Demolished: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on Wednesday morning moved in to demolish alleged illegal construction of actress' Manikarnika Office in Mumbai's Pali Hills area.

New Delhi: The war of words between Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and the Maharashtra government has taken a dramatic turn with civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) moving in to demolish alleged illegal construction of her Manikarnika Office in Mumbai. BMC on Wednesday razed parts of the 'Queen' actress's residence and office in Bandra. However, the Bombay High Court has put a stay on the civic body's demolition drive at her property in Mumbai. The order came after BMC already razed parts of Kangana's residence and damaged her office which is a part of her house in Bandra. Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut's lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui has given his reaction in the case. Speaking to the media earlier today, the lawyer said, "they came to demolish the property in the owner's absence. They brought along a large force. What kind of action is this?" Reacting on the notice, Siddiqui said "I replied to the notice issued by the corporations. The notice issued is illegal. They entered the premises illegally." According to the reports, the lawyer is likely to file contempt proceedings and charges against the Mumbai civic body. The verbal spat between the 'Queen' actress and Shiv Sena started after Kangana compared Mumbai to PoK. The row aggravated to a ‘Kangana Ranaut versus the state of Maharashtra’ war, with state Home Minister Deshmukh ordering a probe into the actress' alleged involvement in the drugs case. The Panga actress, who had been in her hometown Himachal during the lockdown, reached Mumbai today after throwing an open challenge to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut who has asked her not to return to the city if she's afraid of the Mumbai police. On her return, the actress was given y Security and was escorted by Karni Sena from the airport.
