Highlights

  • The BMC notice had listed 14 violations at Kangana Ranaut ‘s office
  • The actor says she is being targetted because of her fight with the Sena
  • The row escalated after her “Mumbai feels like PoK” comment

New Delhi:

Actor Kangana Ranaut compared Mumbai to PoK and even Pakistan today as a civic team demolished alleged illegal structures at her office in the middle of her massive row with Maharashtra’s ruling Shiv Sena. Visuals showed a bulldozer at work at her office around the same time she took a flight to Mumbai, surrounded by heavy security.

The 33-year-old actor alleges that the Maharashtra government is targeting her because of her fight with the Shiv Sena, which also controls the BMC or Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.

“I am never wrong and my enemies prove again and again this is why my Mumbai is POK now #deathofdemocracy,” Kangana Ranaut wrote in a series of tweets.

She also wrote “Pakistan…” and “Babur and his army”.

“There is no illegal construction in my house, also government has banned any demolitions in Covid till September 30, Bullywood watch now this is what Fascism looks like,” she posted.

Her lawyers have gone to the Bombay High Court to try and stop the action. They claimed there was an order against any demolition till September 30 because of Covid.

The BMC notice had listed 14 violations at her office in Mumbai’s Pali Hills. A civic official was quoted by Press Trust of India as saying “illegal alterations” at the Bandra bungalow of the Bollywood star would also be demolished.

“As I am all set for Mumbai Darshan on my way to the airport, Maharashtra 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 tweeted this morning.

Kangana Ranaut, given Y-Plus security by the central government, was escorted by cops on her way to Chandigarh for her flight to Mumbai.

The actor, given Y-Plus security by the central government, was escorted by cops as she offered prayers at a temple in Kothi, Himachal Pradesh, on her way to Chandigarh for her flight to Mumbai.

Her Mumbai return has been preceded by a dramatic dust-up with Maharashtra’s ruling coalition over her criticism of the Mumbai police and administration’s handling of the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

Last week, as she commented that she feared living in Mumbai, Sena leaders suggested the actor should stay out of the city. The row escalated when she retorted that “Mumbai feels like PoK” – a comment she repeated today. In a fierce backlash from the Shiv Sena, an MLA threatened that she would be slapped at the Mumbai airport, women protesters hit her posters with slippers and a top Sena leader, Sanjay Raut, was on camera using a slur against her.

Even Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray took a dig at Kangana Ranaut, saying that people who earned their livelihood in the city were ungrateful.

On Tuesday, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh of the NCP ordered an investigation into the allegations of an actor, Adhyayan Suman, that she “took drugs”.
