In a new development, the Bombay High Court has asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC )to stop demolition work at Kangana Ranaut's bungalow in Mumbai. The Shiv Sena-controlled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) today demolished "illegal alterations" at the Bandra bungalow of Kangana, a civic official said. 

The 33-year-old actor has alleged that the Maharashtra government is targeting her because of her fight with the Shiv Sena. For the uninformed, the BMC on Wednesday started demolishing the Bandra office Kangana for alleged unauthorised modifications/extensions, officials said here.

A team of the BMC H-West Ward officers accompanied by a police posse reached the office with bulldozers, JCBs, and other heavy equipment and took up the demolition work from the outside. The development came barely hours after the BMC pasted a notice outside the office rejecting a reply filed by Kangana's lawyer, Rizwan Siddique, to the Tuesday (September 8) notice in which the civic body had listed a series of violations in the ongoing works in her office.

The BMC Executive Engineer said that he was satisfied that the (illegal) works were being carried out and the actress had failed to produce the permissions/approvals/sanction for it as per BMC laws.

"Therefore, the work carried out by you as mentioned in the notification schedule is declared as unauthorised," said the Executive Engineer. He also said that the ongoing work on the premises was not stopped and warned that it is "liable for forthwith demolition at your risk, cost, and consequences". 

The notice also cautioned that the actress could face imprisonment of a minimum one month up to one year besides penalties. In a series of tweets, Kangana slammed the BMC officials. She tweeted, "As I am all set for Mumbai Darshan on my way to the airport, Maha government and their goons are at my property all set to illegally break it down, go on! I promised to give blood for Maharashtra pride this is nothing take everything but my spirit will only rise higher and higher."

She also wrote, "I am never wrong and my enemies prove again and again this is why my Mumbai is POK now #deathofdemocracy."
