Kandivli-based restaurateur Rakesh Shetty had recorded the video on May 11 during his visit to the police station to register a complaint against a local builder for allegedly issuing threats to him and his family.
Commenting on the issue, Shetty said, &ldquo;I am convinced that what I witnessed that day was orchestrated. The couple was used as pawns and deliberately subjected to such brutality so that I get intimidated and refuse to pursue the matter against builder Santosh Sawant. However, I went ahead and registered an FIR against the builder and even sought police protection for my family, including me.&rdquo;
He accused Sawant of using pressure tactics so that he gives away his prime property (3,845 sq ft) near Ganesh Mandir at Vazira Naka at a throwaway price of Rs 50 lakh against its current market value of at least Rs 10 crore.
