Kangana admitted in HC about illegal construction: BMC

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in an affidavit filed before the Bombay High Court has said that it undertook demolition of illegal alterations at actor Kangana Ranaut's bungalow with no ulterior motives.

In its affidavit, the BMC said, ‘even in the present petition, Kangana has not disputed the fact that she has carried out unlawful alterations and additions.

The world’s richest civic body said even in her response to a stop-work notice earlier, Kangana did not dispute the allegation of illegal alterations but only made baseless counter-allegations and sought seven days to respond to the notice further.

The civic body filed an affidavit in the court a day after Ranaut challenged the demolition at her bungalow in Pali Hill in suburban Bandra. Ranaut's lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui claimed that the BMC had damaged the property, leading to water and electricity connections getting disrupted.
