BMC issues notice to Kangana Ranaut, CRPF security outside her Mumbai home

MUMBAI: BMC issued a notice to actor Kangana Ranaut, seeking her reply in 24 hours about alleged ‘illegal alteration and construction’ in premises of her bungalow at Khar West. In case, she fails to reply, the BMC will demolish the ‘illegal portion’ on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, CRPF security deployed outside Kangana’s residential building in Bandra and the bungalow at Khar. It is part of the security arrangement provided to her by the Centre. On Monday, Centre has sanctioned “Y-Plus” security to Kangana on her request before arrival in Mumbai on Wednesday.


Kangana has purchased the bungalow at Chetak Rowhouse on Pali Hill area of Khar (West). She had renovated the premises recently. She lives in a De Breeze building in the nearby area.

She created a controversy after commenting on Sushant Singh Rajput’s alleged suicide case. She criticised the Mumbai police and said that the city was not safe. It invited strong criticism from Shiv Sena who demanded an apology from her.

The Shiv Sena is ruling party in Maharashtra along with the NCP and Congress. They called Kangana ‘BJP parrot’.

The Shiv Sena is also ruling party in the BMC (municipal corporation) which issued notice to Kangana after the controversy. The notice stated that she made illegal changes in her bungalow at Khar West. The BMC has given her 24 hours to reply or they will demolish the unauthorised construction.
Meanwhile, the local residents association came in Kangana’s support starting that why BMC targeting her. They said that everyone does some or other changes in their house without permission and why action initiated only against Kangana.
Madhu Poplai, secretary, Pali Hill Residents' Association said, "No demolition requires unless there is any structural changes in the premises. In the city, people always do some or other changes in their houses. The BMC should act against everyone instead of targeting one person".
She had purchased the around 60-year-old bungalow two years ago and made some changes in it , to use is as office-cum-home. The renovation work was completed in January.
