A ramp built by actor Shah Rukh Khan to park his vanity van alongside his bungalow in Bandra was on Saturday demolished by the civic authorities.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation demolished an illegal ramp outside actor Shah Rukh Khan’s sea-facing Mannat bungalow in suburban Bandra on Saturday, after he failed to respond to a demolition notice, civic officials said.

A 25-member demolition squad with one JCB reached the bungalow and started work at 7 a.m.The ramp was built by the actor to park his vanity van alongside the bungalow.

However, local Bandra residents objected and lodged several complaints stating that the ramp was a hindrance in accessing the Mount Mary Church.

When the civic body did not act, BJP MP from Mumbai North West Poonam Mahajan shot off a letter to Municipal Commissioner Sitaram Kunte, demanding action. Mr. Kunte then directed the civic administration to serve a seven-day notice on the actor.
