The 28-year-old man allegedly framed in a drug case and released after being extorted of Rs 3.1 lakh by the Oshiwara police is unhappy over the lack of progress in the case. Following the mid-day exposé, the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) ordered an inquiry led by an ACP-rank officer. However, the victim claims that apart from recording his statement, no substantial action has been taken thus far. Frustrated by the lack of progress, he has written to senior officials of the Mumbai police, demanding strict action against the accused police personnel from the crime detection branch of Oshiwara police station.

The man who had gone to watch a movie with his girlfriend at City Mall on the night of August 15, returned to pick up his Activa bike when men claiming to be policemen from Oshiwara police station detained him, alleging that he had drugs in his bike. Despite his protests that no drugs were present and showing them his movie ticket as proof of his alibi, they forcibly took him to the police station, detaining him overnight.
