Mumbai, March 24 -- Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has launched a demolition drive at The Habitat Studio, located at the Unicontinental Hotel in Khar, on Monday, March 24, citing violations of civic rules.

The demolition drive comes after a video of standup comedian Kunal Kamra went massively viral where he allegedly mocked the state deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde calling him a 'gaddar' (traitor). The standup act was held in the Habitat Studio.
