RJ Malishka’s video “Mumbai, tula BMC var bharavsa nahi ka?” (Mumbai, don’t you trust the BMC?) went viral last week inviting the ruling party’s ire. By Tuesday, Malishka found herself facing Sena’s demand of a defamation suit and a notice slapped on her residence in Bandra for mosquito-breeding.

Talking about Malishka’s case, BJP group leader in BMC, Manoj Kotak called BMC’s action “stupid and childish”. The BMC said that the notice was sent as a part of its routine survey and officials said that they did not know that the flat was owned by Malishka’s mother, Lily Mendonsa. Malishka has hit back at BMC, saying she has six more songs ready.
