BMC demolishes part of Ajay Devgn’s Juhu bungalow
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has removed unauthorised construction at actor Ajay Devgn's bungalow in Mumbai's Juhu area after work continued despite a stop-work notice issued on 10 September. The alleged modifications include interior alterations, partition walls and window changes carried out without civic permits, ABP Live and NDTV report. The bungalow is owned by Devgn and his mother Veena Devgn.
The BMC's K-West ward had issued the notice under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act. In a speaking order on 6 October, the BMC rejected the owners' reply submitted on 15 September, saying no documents proving civic approval were provided, the Times of India reports. The civic body has deemed the construction unauthorised and has removed some structures.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same sequence of events: a stop-work notice in September, a rejected reply in October, and subsequent demolition. The Times of India alone adds the specific rejection date (6 October) and the detail that the bungalow is co-owned by Devgn's mother, giving a more procedural framing. ABP Live and NDTV lead with the demolition itself, framing it as action already taken, while the Times of India ends by noting the order does not specify whether removal has occurred. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, differing only in the stage of the process each outlet chooses to emphasise.
