Bihar Minister Sanjay Kumar Jha expressed shock over the treatment meted out to Kangana Ranaut by the Shiv Sena led-BMC as it began to demolish the actor’s Mumbai office on Wednesday. Jha said, it was “appalling to see the brazen manner” in which the Mumbai civic body was acting at the behest of the ruling party and trying to ‘suffocate’ the voice of Kangana Ranaut, who is demanding justice of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The minister added that Shiv Sena was acting with ‘acute intolerance’ by bringing down the Manikarnika office in the absence of the property owner.

BMC demolishes Kangana’s office
In a huge development, the BMC began demolishing the ‘Queen’ actor’s office in Mumbai on Wednesday while she was still enroute to the city from Chandigarh. BMC workers armed with jackhammers, demolition tools started to bring down a portion of Kangana's office with the help of a JCB machine. The workers broke into her office premises and began the demolition proceedings inside as well.
Kangana Ranaut has been at loggerheads with Shiv Sena ever since she compared Mumbai to Pakistan occupied Kashmir and said that she feels unsafe in the city ever since the police attempted to ‘coverup’ Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.
Following the demolition of her property in Mumbai, Kangana informed through a tweet that there is no illegal construction at her property and noted that the Government too, has banned any demolition till September 30, in light of Coronavirus.
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 🙂#DeathOfDemocracy #KanganaRanaut
