Bollywood star Ajay Devgn has found himself in the middle of a civic controversy after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) carried out a partial demolition at one of his properties in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Following reports of the action, the actor’s office issued a formal clarification to set the record straight. His team emphasized that the site in question is not the actor’s personal residence, but rather a separate property that has been rented out to third parties.
The civic body initiated the action following a notice issued on September 10, 2026, which directed an immediate halt to construction activities. According to the BMC, the property had undergone unauthorized changes, including the installation of partition walls, new windows, and internal structural alterations that lacked the necessary municipal approvals. Officials stated that they proceeded with the partial demolition because the construction continued despite the initial notice served under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act.
Addressing the situation, Devgn’s office stated that they have already applied for the requisite permissions for the property and are working to ensure full compliance with BMC guidelines. The statement confirmed that all necessary modifications and alterations requested by the civic authorities have since been carried out. The team maintained that they are adhering to all applicable rules and regulations concerning the premises.
On the professional front, Ajay Devgn remains on a high as his crime thriller franchise continues its impressive streak at the box office. The third installment of the series, directed by Abhishek Pathak, has already crossed the Rs 400 crore mark globally since its release on October 2. The film has been winning over audiences and critics alike, thanks to its signature suspense and gripping performances.
