BMC Partly Demolishes Ajay Devgn’s Juhu Bungalow

Mumbai’s Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has pulled down parts of Ajay Devgn’s Juhu bungalow, days after a stop-work notice was issued for work the civic body says was carried out without the necessary permissions. The property, a 7,802-square-foot home within the Kapole Co-operative Housing Society, became the subject of civic action shortly after the notice was served.

What the BMC says happened

The BMC listed internal alterations, partition walls, changes to windows and other structural work among the items it flagged. On September 10, it issued a notice under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act. The notice directed that construction stop immediately and asked for the documents and approvals connected to the work.

According to the civic body, the activity did not stop after the order. Officials then visited the Juhu property and removed the portions they considered unauthorised. Visuals from the site showed civic staff using hammers to break down parts of the construction.

• Property: 7,802 sq ft inside Kapole Co-operative Housing Society, Juhu
• Notice: September 10 under Section 354A of the MMC Act
• Work flagged: internal alterations, partition walls, window modifications and structural changes
• Action: demolition of specific portions after work reportedly continued

In Mumbai, Section 354A notices are a common first step when municipal authorities believe work has gone ahead without approvals: the order freezes activity and puts the onus on the owner to produce the right papers. When the documentation is missing, the BMC can escalate from a notice to physical removal of the flagged portions.

Why this lands for fans

A civic demolition at a star’s home is not a run-of-the-mill property dispute. Fans follow actors as closely as their films, so an off-screen story about a Juhu bungalow quickly becomes part of the celebrity narrative. It also underlines that municipal rules sit outside the world of filmi drama: approvals and notices apply at every address.

At the same time, the story is more measured than it first appears. The action targeted specific portions of the property, not the entire bungalow, and the BMC has framed the case around permissions rather than any personal conduct by the actor.

Drishyam 3 keeps its momentum

While the Juhu story circulates, Devgn’s latest film is still on a strong theatrical run. Drishyam 3 released on October 2 and has reportedly crossed the Rs 400 crore mark at the global box office. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film stars Shriya Saran, Tabu and Akshaye Khanna, and has drawn largely positive responses for its performances, suspense and twists.

The hit franchise follows Vijay Salgaonkar and his family as they wrestle with the consequences of a crime and the investigation around it. The earlier chapters made the character a household name, and this closer gives fans a reason to keep tracking Devgn’s week even beyond the headlines.

For now, the key question is what documents and permissions follow the removal. In Mumbai’s high-profile neighbourhoods, a stop-work notice can move quickly from paper to a hammer on site.
