The Mulund police have allegedly refused to register an FIR for the theft of a bicycle and instead asked the complainant to bring them the CCTV camera footage of the crime. Yogesh Mudiyar, who works at a shop on Zaver road at Mulund, had purchased the cycle on instalment for travelling to work.

On November 11, Mudiyar had parked his cycle on the roadside near the shop he works at, but when he returned to head home, it was missing. He checked the entire area, but did not find his cycle, and rushed to Mulund police station to file a complaint. However, the officer on duty told him that they don’t register FIRs for stolen bicycles and asked him to leave, Mudiyar said.
