The E ward office confirmed that the restaurant had been served a notice about two weeks ago. "They have now been asked to submit documents, and if we are not satisfied, we will prosecute them," said Kishore Desai, assistant commissioner of E ward. While Desai could not confirm the nature of illegality, Deshpande said the restaurant has illegal floors.

Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena has been left red-faced because of the incident. Defending her party, corporator Trushna Vishwasrao said, "The Mayor attended the function as an invitee. But if there is something illegal, we will never support it. Action must be taken."
