Police sources said that the “encroached” portion of the three-storey house and a few other allegedly illegal structures nearby were razed. The house belongs to Umardeen (49) and his son Muzaffar (25), officers said. While political outfits had demanded strict punishment for the accused, who belong to a minority community, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had assured “strict and exemplary action”.
