Kangana Ranaut, who is scheduled to reach later in the day, has alleged that the Maharashtra government is targeting her because of her fight with the Shiv Sena.
The Shiv Sena-controlled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), on September 9, demolished "illegal alterations" at Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut's Bandra bunglow, a civic official said.
The 33-year-old actor, who is scheduled to reach later in the day, has alleged that the Maharashtra government is targeting her because of her fight with the Shiv Sena.
The demolition work began shortly after 11 am, the official told PTI.
A BMC team reached the bungalow at Pali Hill in Bandra with bulldozer and excavators and demolished alterations made sans the civic body's approval.
The BMC had posted a second notice outside her bungalow, informing of the action the civic body is set to take, he said.
Trouble has mounted for Kangana as the Maharashtra government on Tuesday said the police will probe allegations that she took drugs, while alterations made at her bungalow came under the civic body’s scanner.
Responding to the demolition, Kangana tweeted images of the Mumbai police with captions referring to them as Babur and his army, death of democracy and calling Mumbai as Pakistan and POK.Babur and his army #deathofdemocracy pic.twitter.com/L5wiUoNqhl

Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said the Mumbai police would probe allegations by actor Adhyayan Suman that Ranaut took drugs.
The BMC on Tuesday filed a 'caveat' in a local court, saying it should be heard first if Ranaut challenges a stop-work notice issued to her.
Ranaut had recently said that she feared Mumbai Police more than the "movie mafia", and would prefer security either from Himachal Pradesh or the Centre.
Union minister Ramdas Athawale, an ally of the BJP, said workers of his party RPI (A) will provide protection to Ranaut when she returns to Mumbai.
"RPI (A) workers have geared up to protect Ranaut who is scheduled to reach Mumbai on Wednesday. Our party workers will offer protection to her at the airport as well as at her residence,” Athawale said.
