Mumbai, September 8
Already under fire over her remarks on Mumbai, trouble mounted for actor Kangana Ranaut as the Maharashtra Government on Tuesday said the police would probe allegations that she took drugs, while alterations made at her bungalow here came under the civic scanner.
Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said the Mumbai police would probe allegations by actor Adhyayan Suman that Ranaut took drugs.
Deshmukh said Adhyayan, son of veteran actor Shekhar Suman, was once in a relationship with Ranaut and he had alleged that she used to take drugs. He added that Shiv Sena MLAs Pratap Sarnaik and Sunil Prabhu raised the issue in the Assembly on Tuesday.
“The law is same for everyone. There is no political vendetta. Security is given to people who are looked upon as idols. If there are allegations of drug consumption against her and if they are false, the people levelling them should be thrown into jail,” Sarnaik said.
Meanwhile, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials on Tuesday posted a notice at Ranaut’s bungalow here, pointing out many alterations undertaken in the building without the civic body’s approval, a claim rejected by her.
A BMC team went to the bungalow of the actor in the Pali Hill area of suburban Bandra and posted the notice there as nobody was present to receive it, a civic official added. The notice pointed out over a dozen alterations in the bungalow, like a “toilet being converted into office cabin” and “new toilets being constructed alongside the staircase”, the official said.
The BMC has asked her to tell within 24 hours if she had taken approvals for changes in her residence, he said. The BMC also filed a “caveat” in a local court, saying it should be heard first if Ranaut challenges a stop-work notice issued to her.
Ranaut, through her lawyer, responded to the BMC’s notice, accusing its officials of trespassing on her property. — PTI
