In a video clip reportedly recorded in the ambulance, Bandolkar accused the Ramanagar Sub-inspector (SI) of severe misconduct. According to Bandolkar, during an investigation five months ago, the SI confiscated Rs 3.5 lakh but officially reported seizing only Rs 30,000. Bandolkar claimed that despite informing the SP about the false report and the SI's actions, no disciplinary measures were taken against the officer. Instead, Bandolkar said he continued to face harassment from the SI for several months.
