Ranvir Shorey gets held up for over 8 hours with house helps husband after cop claims that delivery of a child is not an emergency

21 May 2020

Ranvir Shorey was heading to the hospital with his driver and house helps husband when she was admitted in the hospital for her delivery. The hospital asked her to bring her husband before they went ahead with any procedure on her causing them to leave for the hospital. However, in a twisted turn of events, the cop in charge at one of the checkpoints claimed that the delivery of a child is not an emergency and hence held these three men back in their car for over 8 hours.In a series of tweets, Ranvir Shorey explained just how bad this experience was and it was surprising to most of us since Mumbai Police is known for their cordial behaviour. The first tweet reads, @MumbaiPolice My car being impounded for taking my household help for his wifes delivery to hospital. Officer in charge says a child being delivered is not an emergency. Please advise.Saddened and disappointed that the transgression and highhandedness of one policeman is going to cost me my car, and an FIR against my innocent driver. Even after 3 hours, there has been no redressal of my complaints.On the brighter side, thanks for getting me out of the house. Its been a while. PS: Im still waiting at the police station. Six hours and counting.. 3 hapless people made to wait for more than 6 hours. What are we being punished for? After more than 8 hours, we have been let go. No FIR, car not impounded. Thank you, Exhausted. Thanks for listening, yall. Gnite. Ranvir Shorey (@RanvirShorey) Things escalated soon and Aaditya Thackeray was involved along with the police.
