Somaiya filed a complaint at Khar police station and demanded action against a police officer for filing a bogus FIR against him. He reported his statement at Khar police station.

While talking to reporters, Somaiya stated that the responsible police officer should be charged with forgery and criminal conspiracy to file a false complaint in his name.

On Wednesday, the BJP leader met Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari to inform him of such practices.
