MUMBAI:

When an ED team reached the site of the property recently to take its possession, with a posse of a Central Reserve Police Force armed squad, it found the single-screen cinema hall demolished, agency sources said.

They said the agency is exploring legal options to look at what further steps it can take, including registering of a case, against persons/entities responsible for razing the film theatre on the attached landed property (plot number 998), located on Patthe Bapurao Marg.
