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.

Imagine then the mystic pull of one that has anchored this tiny community for 300 years and witnessed Mumbai fulfil its manifest destinies. Pushed inland by reclamations, today it stands between Churchgate station and Flora Fountain, serenely aloof from the wave of pedestrians and traffic surging past.
