Mumbai: Oshiwara traffic police have issued an echallan to a car for obstructing traffic flow at Andheri (W) recently after the vehicle halted in the middle of a busy road for actor-model Rakhi Sawant to get in. The car, which caused the traffic jam, belongs to a person known to Sawant, the police said.

A video clip of Sawant pointing at other vehicles waiting in the snarl and saying, “Jahan hum khade hote hai, line wahi se shuru hoti hai. Ruk jao,” has gone viral.

After the Andheri-Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens’ Association posted the clip on Twitter, Mumbai Police responded that they would look into the matter. “We have issued a challan against the vehicle for creating obstruction to traffic,” said Dilip Bhosle, senior inspector, Oshiwara traffic division.
