A 50-year-old manager of a recreational club has filed a written petition in Bombay High Court accusing Khar police of misusing its power. In the petition, he alleged that Khar Police threatened him to shut down his club at Red Palm Residency in Khar West.

Red Palm Residency manager Satish Yadav last week had filed a petition alleging that assistant Police Inspector (API) Kishore Pawar, from Khar police station, demanded a sum of Rs. 5,000 every month for smooth functioning of his business. However, when Yadav declined to comply with his demands, the latter slapped him in front of everyone at the club and threatened him of dire consequences should he failed to oblige to his demands.
