A developer, Shreeji Constructions, and a 50-year-old teacher, Shriveena Murzello, are at loggerheads over the demolition of a slum structure in Orlem, Malad. While Murzello has alleged that the developer’s men entered the structure she owns without any notice or intimation and demolished the room, Nimesh Desai of Shreeji Construction has refuted all such allegations, stating they were made with mala fide intentions.

Murzello has alleged that those who entered the premises were from Shreeji Constructions and the police have merely registered a non-cognizable (NC) offence against them instead of an FIR. Murzello was in the small causes court on March 18 for a hearing in connection with a property case related to a ground-floor structure near her Orlem bungalow. While in court, she got a call from her husband saying that a few people claiming to be working for a developer had started break the walls of the structure that she was fighting for legally.
