Controversy

Fight with a Traffic Police Constable

Reportedly, Aryan Vaid got into an argument with a traffic police constable named Satish Mhatre in 2015 for being asked to take a breathalyser test in a twice-used kit tube. According to the sources, Aryan’s car was stopped by the traffic police at Juhu circle around 11.30 pm on Sunday, 30 May 2015, and he was asked to take a breathalyser test. Vaid, however, requested the constable to provide a new kit tube over hygiene concerns. The officials claimed that there were no new tubes available at that time. The video of the argument was shared by Aryan on the media. Aryan Vaid, on 1 June 2015, filed a complaint against the police constable, claiming that he was forced to take the breathalyser test in a used kit and was verbally abused by the constable. Following the FIR by Aryan Vaid, Satish Mhatre also filed a complaint against Aryan for getting into an argument and using abusive language with him. The – then Joint Police Commissioner (traffic) Milind Bharambe defended Mhatre and said that Aryan stretched out the matter even after being told that the kit was clean. Milind Bharambe said,
There have been cases where the pipe, which costs Rs 4, was not changed. I have instructed all traffic divisions to use new pipes. But Vaid’s case is different. He knew he was not driving under the influence and still got into an argument with the constable and used abusive language. The constable told him that the pipe was clean, but Vaid did not listen and escalated the matter.”
Following the matter, NCP legislator Rahul Narvekar wrote to the chief minister demanding guidelines on the proper use of the breathalyser kit.
