The constable, along with his police team, was visiting a building to investigate a matter after receiving a complaint from the residents. The four accused, of which two are women, were intercepted and arrested on the Eastern Express Highway by the Parksite police station.

They were produced in court and remanded to police custody. The incident took place when residents from a society in Suncity Complex near Powai complained to the police that some others in the building were locking up a room meant to store garbage. Around 11 am on Sunday, a team from Parksite police station, under whose jurisdiction the building falls, went to investigate the matter. The cops wanted to take the four in charge of the dumping room to the police station for further investigations.
