Mumbai Police Initiates Legal Action Against Urfi Javed Over Fake Arrest Video
Mumbai Police has taken legal action against influencer and actress Uorfi Javed for her involvement in a controversial video that falsely portrayed her arrest by police officers. The video, which subsequently went viral on various social media platforms, has raised concerns and warranted a response from the Mumbai Police.
In this video, Urfi Javed was depicted being arrested by a couple of female Mumbai police officers, supposedly for wearing revealing clothing. However, it was later revealed that the entire incident was part of a campaign shoot. Mumbai Police has accused her of attempting to garner more followers and views through the use of individuals impersonating police officers in her video.
In response to the video, the Oshiwara police registered a case against Urfi Javed and three others who appeared in police uniforms in the video. The Mumbai Police, not taking this matter lightly, have expressed their discontent and disapproval of what they consider "cheap publicity" on Urfi Javed's part.
Mumbai Police, through an Instagram post, stated, “One Can’t Violate Law Of The Land, For Cheap Publicity! A viral video of a woman being allegedly arrested by Mumbai Police, in a case of obscenity is not true - insignia & uniform have been misused. However, a criminal case has been registered against those involved in the misleading video, at Oshiwara Pstn under sections 171, 419, 500, 34 IPC. While further investigation is on, the fake inspector is under arrest & the vehicle has been seized too. #RealityCheck.”
The legal actions taken by Mumbai Police have received positive feedback from netizens, with many expressing their gratitude for addressing this issue promptly. One user wrote, "Thank you for doing this. It was getting out of hand!" Another netizen commented, "Yay, now I am happy people do anything for cheap publicity." One more user applauded the Mumbai police, saying, "Great job, Mumbai police."
Mumbai Police has taken a decisive stance against the misuse of their insignia and uniforms for fraudulent purposes. Uorfi Javed and four others have been accused of making videos that exploited police identities and uniforms, which led to the misleading portrayal of the actress's arrest.
The controversial video falsely claimed that Urfi Javed was taken into police custody in Mumbai. The video showed her on a morning coffee run when a group of individuals impersonating police constables apprehended her. In the video, a female police constable is seen instructing Javed to accompany them to the police station.
Despite Javed's repeated inquiries about the reason for her arrest, she was ultimately taken into custody and transported to the police station in a 'police' vehicle. This video quickly gained traction on various social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, sparking controversy and ultimately leading to legal action by the Mumbai Police.
