In a huge development, the Shiv Sena-led Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) began demolishing actor Kangana Raut's office Manikarnika films in Mumbai on Wednesday while the actor was still enroute to the city from Chandigarh, post which Kangana's lawyer argued her plea against the move in the Bombay High Court and got a stay on the demolition. 

BMC workers armed with jackhammers, demolition tools had started to bring down a portion of Kangana's office with the help of a JCB machine. The workers broke into the actor's office premises and started off the demolition proceedings inside as well. 

Reacting to the treatment meted out by the Maharashtra Government towards Kangana Ranaut, her sister Rangoli Chandel who has previously been her manager and chief spokesperson though not for some time now, took to Twitter and said that the actor is ‘paying the price for speaking the truth.’
