The action by the civic body's anti-encroachment team started at 11:30 pm on Thursday and ended an hour past midnight on Friday, they added.

In a raid carried out by Kashimira police under senior inspector Sanjay Hazare on May 8, the bar was found to be open despite Covid-19 directives to shut such places, and a specially made cavity was unearthed in the structure in which women were kept in dingy and dangerous conditions.

The civic action of demolishing the restaurant-bar structure came after police wrote to the MBMC on illegalities found during the May 8 raid, officials added.
