The Bhandup police initiated a process of externment—a legal process where a person is barred from residing in a specific area or locality for a set period—against a 27-year-old murder accused. This is after a video of him cutting birthday cakes decorated with Indian Penal Code sections, under which he is currently booked, went viral on social media.

The individual was seen celebrating his birthday on April 11 with cakes that labelled him ‘King of Bhandup’ and listed the criminal charges he faces. He posed proudly with multiple cakes referencing serious offences.
