Mumbai: A non-cognisable offence has been registered against actor Aditya Pancholi for allegedly abusing and threatening a car mechanic over the issue of bill payment, police said here late Monday night.
The incident came to light when the 47-year-old car mechanic, Mosin Kadar Rajapkar, approached the Versova police station in western suburbs and lodged a complaint against the actor, an official said.
According to the complaint, Pancholi had given his luxury car for servicing and repairing to Rajapkar in March 2017. Rajapkar gave a bill of Rs 2.82 lakh against the job done by him, the official informed.
The mechanic had been asking the 54-year-old actor to clear the bill, but the latter allegedly ignored the demand, he said.
The mechanic, when he followed up for clearance of the bill, the actor abused him over phone and personally, and also threatened him, said Ravindra Badgujar, senior inspector of the Versova police station.
“On the complaint of the mechanic we have registered a non-cognisable offence against the actor and our probe is underway,” Badgujar said.
The actor was not available for comment on allegations levelled by Rajapkar.
Non-cognisable offence requires the police to produce a warrant to arrest a person.
