There seems to be no rein on the pay and park mafia in the city, which has been blatantly operating with fake signboards and even receipts. On Thursday a biker received an e challan from the Borivli Traffic Division, after they  towed his bike from a ‘pay and park’ lot outside Borivli west station, where he had paid the charges, and also received a receipt. The biker was later told it was an unauthorised parking lot.

Amit Sedani, a resident of Gorai at Borivli, is a projector screen and sound equipment supplier. Sedani parked his vehicle outside Suresh Bar & Restaurant at Chandavarkar Road in Borivli west on Thursday, after seeing a pay and park signboard of the BMC hung on a tree there, complete with rules and parking rates. He was even issued a receipt in the name of Hari Om Enterprises, located at Chandavarkar Cross Road, R/Central Ward, Borivli West.
