The members of a shopping centre in Kandivli are up in arms against the builder for allegedly blocking the entrance to the arcade by renting out the space to a shopkeeper. They said the BMC had demolished a structure at Rughani Arcade on Mathudas Road last month on their complaint, but the shopkeeper again set up a stall after five to six days.

The ground-plus-one Rughani Arcade, built by Tribhuvan Rughani Raghuvanshi of Raghuvanshi Developers, has 56 shops. Raghuvanshi was in the news in November 2021 over a fire at Hansa Heritage society in Kandivli that left two dead. Raghuvanshi, whose company constructed the building, was booked prompting him to seek anticipatory bail.
