Ex-BSF jawan named Anil Mahajan, who currently works as a security guard for a bank in Vasai, was shocked to see the two men dressed as Kashmiri militants with one of them sporting a bullet pouch on his belt. The alert ex-jawan didn’t wait long and called the police immediately. After knowing that they looked like militants for a film’s shoot, the YRF actor have been booked along with the production staff for violating the permit to shoot in the area.
Talking about the incident to Mid-day, the ex-BSF jawan said, “They were tall, healthy and were wearing military shoes. They had warpaint on and their heads were covered with a bandana. One of them had a long beard and was carrying a pouch of bullets on his belt. They bought cigarettes from the shop, crossed the road and disappeared. I have worked for the Border Security Force and have seen many terrorists in Kashmir and other areas who look similar. I first called a relative in Nashik who is a cop, who gave me the number of the Palghar police control."
While Balram Jinwala, the actor said, “As we were heading for the shoot I felt the urge to smoke and told the driver to stop at a pan bidi shop. The driver refused and I wish I had listened to him. We suddenly realised that people around were staring. I got scared and explained that we were in costume and headed for a shoot. We left the spot quickly." Mid-day report further states, after sometime, the cops landed up at the set and arrested a shocked Jinwala and Khan. He concluded, “I have paid a heavy price for my addiction, I have lost my job and now have a police case against me. This is a big lesson for me."
