The
Bombay
High
Court
has
asked
Brihan
Mumbai
Corporation
(BMC)
to
stop
the
demolition
drive
at
actress
Kangana
Ranaut's
Mumbai
office.
The
court
has
asked
the
civic
body
to
repond
to
Kangana's
petition.
BMC's
response
to
Kangana's
plea
will
be
heard
before
the
bench
of
justice
SJ
Kathawalla
at
3pm
tomorrow
(September
10,
2020).
Kangana
Ranaut's
lawyer
Rizwan
Siddiqui
told
PTI,
'We
filed
a
petition
this
morning
seeking
an
urgent
hearing.
We
have
sought
a
stay
on
the
demolition
process
by
way
of
interim
relief.
Earlier,
in
the
morning,
Kangana
shared
pictures
of
BMC
officials
carrying
out
the
demolition
work
at
her
Pali
Hill
office
in
Mumbai.
The
actress
lashed
out
at
the
Maharashtra
government
for
targeting
her,
and
called
the
demolition
of
her
office
as
'death
of
democracy." She
also
claimed
that
there
is
no
illegal
construction
at
her
house.
Meanwhile,
celebrities
like
Renuka
Shahane,
Sona
Mohapatra
and
others
reacted
to
the
demolition
of
Kangana's
property
by
BMC.
Renuka
Shahane
tweeted,
"Though
I
did
not
like
@KanganaTeam's
comment
comparing
Mumbai
to
POK
I
am
appalled
by
the
revenge
demolition
carried
out
by
@mybmc
You
do
not
have
to
stoop
so
low.
@CMOMaharashtraplease
intervene.
There
is
a
pandemic
we
are
dealing
with.
Do
we
need
this
unnecessary
drama?."
"Demolition
squads
now
#Mumbai
???
What
the
hell
is
this.
What
do
you
expect
from
a
government
that
doesn't
win
an
election
to
come
to
power??!!
Travesty.
Sickening," read
Sona
Mohaptra's
tweet.
Dia
Mirza
posted
on
her
Twitter
page,
"Kangana
comparing
Mumbai
to
POK
is
not
acceptable.
But
there
is
absolutely
no
doubt
that
@mybmc
moving
to
suddenly
conduct
a
demolition
of
areas
of
her
office
space
is
totally
questionable.
Why
now?
Why
like
this?
What
were
you
doing
all
this
while
if
there
were
irregularities?"
On
Tuesday,
(September
8,
2020),
Kangana
had
approached
the
Bombay
High
Court,
challenging
the
notice
issued
by
BMC
for
"illegal
construction"
at
her
property
and
sought
a
stay
on
the
demolition
process.
Meanwhile,
Kangana
Ranaut
arrived
in
Mumbai
today
amid
her
ongoing
verbal
tussle
with
Maharashtra
government,
after
she
compared
Mumbai
to
PoK
and
criticized
the
Mumbai
Police
over
their
handling
of
Bollywood
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case.
The
actress
has
been
given
Y-plus
security
cover
by
the
Ministry
of
Home
Affairs
(MHA)
in
the
wake
of
her
war
of
words
with
Shiv
Sena
leader
Sanjay
Raut.
