Earlier in the day, three JCB machines of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation began demolishing a two-storey house belonging to Fahim Khan at around 10:30 am in Sanjay Bagh Colony, Yashodhara Nagar, over unauthorised construction. A few days ago, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation issued a notice to Khan, citing various lapses and the absence of building plan approval for his house, PTI reported, quoting sources.
