Sanjay Dutt parties; keeps his neighbours awake; cops drop by twice in less than 20 days?
10:10 AM
Actor has had cops drop by twice in less than 20 days, asking him to keep the decibel levels down

In 2009, Mirror had reported about an irate Pali Hill neighbor of Sanjay Dutt raising hell over loud music during a mata ki chowki that had spilled a little over midnight. The actor had his first run-in with the law after his release from Yerwada jail last February in the 1993 Bombay blast case, when a house party that had cranked up the decibel levels and moved to the terrace, irked the neighbours again.
Now, in the New Year, the 57-year-old actor has set a record of sort by having cops drop by his place twice in less than 20 days, asking him to keep the volume down. “The first incident happened on January 14, the second on Thursday. Around 11.30 pm, they (Dutts) started playing music on their terrace. It was so loud that we couldn’t even sleep. When we called the control room, a lady took down the complaint but then nothing happened. I called again at 1.30 am and was told by the same lady that she had sent the details to Khar police station. I waited for 15 minutes and then called up the police station directly. They promised to help us and that’s when the music was stopped,” informs Dr Amitav Shukla, chairman of the Pali Hill Residents’ Association.
He goes on to add that it was clear that the actor has no regard for his neighbours, especially senior citizens. “We had sent him a warning letter the last time but he has not changed. We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in Pali Hill. The issue will be raised at the next AGM meeting and we have also asked the zonal DCP to take strict action against Sanjay Dutt,” Dr Shukla fumes.
The residents contend that the party was on Dutt’s terrace and Sufi music was blaring till 2 am. Senior Inspector Ramchandra Jadhav of Khar police station told Mirror, “As soon as we got a call, our team rushed to the spot and made sure that the music was turned down. We are looking at what needs to be done further.” Mirror got in touch with Sanjay’s spokesperson but the actor remained unavailable for comment.
Imran Khan's Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a roaring pain, say Pali Hill residents
8:32 AM
Cops warn actor, who denies the charges and claims he is paying the price for being a celebrity
Nazia Sayed (MUMBAI MIRROR; February 14, 2015)
The Pali Hill Residents Association has made a police complaint against
actor Imran Khan for creating a racket almost every night driving
around the neighbourhood in his Ferrari.
The verbal complaint was made on Friday afternoon after Imran ignored multiple appeals made to him by the residents. The complaint said that Imran sets out in his Ferrari between midnight and 2 am almost every night and the roar of the car is so loud that it jolts people out of their sleep.
The complaint brings into focus on the one hand the concerns of residents about the rising noise levels in residential areas known once for their calm and quiet, and on the other the frustrations of the owners of supercars jostling for road space with sputtering autos and wheezing trucks and buses.
Pali Hill Residents Association secretary Madhu Poplai said it's been around six months now that Imran's late-night drives have become a headache. "Despite repeated messages and requests to the actor, there has been no change. We had no option other than approaching the police," she said.
The Khar police station, where the complaint was made, called Imran on Friday and told him about the residents' complaint. "He was warned that if the residents complained again, we will be compelled to initiate action against him," Senior Inspector Dattatray Bhargude said.
Imran, according to police sources, denied the residents' charge and said that he has not taken his Ferrari out of his garage for three months. "I have an eight-month-old daughter and I would be foolish to do anything of this sort as this would disturb her also. None of my neighbours have come to me with such a thing nor did anyone send me a message. Moreover my car is parked at my uncle's place. There are hundreds of sports car in Pali Hill and if police can prove it is me then I would be happy to accept it. I am open to investigation."
Residents, however, say they have been tracking the Ferrari for nearly six months and are convinced that it belongs to Imran and that he is also behind the wheel when it roars through the neighbourhood. The red-and-black car, residents say, goes through the Nargis Dutt road towards the Carter Road and comes up back from the Rizvi College lane to Imran's 24 Pali Hill bungalow.
From RTO records, the residents have found out that only two other persons in the neighbourhood own a Ferrari - Sanjay Dutt and developer Baba Diwan. While Dutt is in Yerwada jail, Baba Diwan, who was a resident of Pali Hill for many years, has now moved to another part of Bandra.
One of the residents, who stays in a housing society adjoining actor Rishi Kapoor's bunglow Krishna Raj, in fact, went to Imran's residence to request him personally. "For a few days the car was not taken out for a spin, but then the nuisance starts again. It becomes irritating when that rumbling sound disturbs your sleep," he said.
Dr Amitav Shukla, chairman, Pali Hill Residents Association, said the residents have no intention to target any individual. "Celebrities should know rules governing noise levels and should think about their neighbours. There are lot of elderly people in Pali Hill. This has to stop at any cost," he said.
