Cops call out Sonam Kapoor over 'stunt' video, she says it isn't what it seems
Mumbai, Dec 14: Mumbai police and Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja were engaged in small twitter row Friday after the cops, wrongly, criticised the actor's co-star Dulquer Salmaan for "trying stunt while driving".
Sonam had posted a video clip from a film shoot on Twitter Showing Salmaan in the driver's seat of a car. His hands are seen fiddling with a mobile phone as the car seems to be moving.
Sonam is heard calling him "weirdo"
Mumbai Police posted the clip on their Twitter handle andwrote, "We agree with you @sonamakapoor ! Quite a `weirdo' to try such stunts while driving and putting the lives of fellow drivers at risk too! We don't quite approve of these even in `reel' life.
This drew much flak for the actors from twitterati.
Sonam then stepped in to clarify that Salmaan was not actually driving the car.
"We weren't driving we were rigged on a truck... but I'm glad you guys are concerned," she tweeted.
"I hope and I know you show the same interest in regular folk as well! Thanks for taking care! #Reelvsreal," she added tagging her co-star.
The police responded by saying, "For us, No Mumbaikar is `regular' they are all `special'! And we are equally concerned about them all. Glad to know your safety wasn't `rigged."
Dulquer Salmaan also clarified that it was not a stunt. "Would appreciate it if you had checked some facts before tweeting this. In fact @MumbaiPolice helped us with permissions and traffic management during the shoot and were present the whole time," he tweeted.
"We appreciate that you weren't indulging in any irresponsible violation. A good example for all your fans @dulQuer," police replied.

Disciplinary action taken against Moodbidri Inspector for misbehavior: Police Commissioner
Mangaluru: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has said that the allegations against Moodbidri Police Inspector Sandesha PG of sexually harassing a complainant are malicious, and stated that disciplinary action has been taken against the officer in this regard.
The preliminary investigation report filed by the officer handling the case, Mangaluru Urban Sub-division ACP Shrikanth, shows the charges by Sumathi Nayak and Avitha Menezes that Sandesha had demanded sexual favours from them were false. The report also states that there is no evidence justifying the allegation, the senior officer said.
“The women have admitted the viral video and audio clips to be theirs but added that they had filed no complaint. We have already taken strict action against the inspector considering the intensity of his misbehavior. Legal action will also be taken against those who file false complaint out of personal enmity,” the Police Commissioner has warned.
In addition, he said, “The Police Department has protection of and respectful behavior towards women who come to police stations as it primary duty. This incident is a lesson for the Department and precautions will be taken to prevent repetition of such behavior by policemen.”
