Pratik Gandhi 'humiliated' by Mumbai Police during 'VIP' movement, almost pushed into random warehouse

The actor expressed his annoyance about the jam on the Mumbai Western Express Highway in a Twitter post, in which he also talks about the shocking incident. 

Pratik wrote, “Mumbai WEH is jammed coz of “VIP” movement, I started walking on the roads to reach the shoot location and Police caught me by shoulder and almost pushed me in some random marble warehouse to wait till without any discussion. #humiliated.”

After Pratik’s post, netizens pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was visiting the financial capital, which could be the reason behind the traffic. A user wrote, “The Prime Minister is here,” to which Pratik responded, “Oops I didn’t know.” On Sunday, PM Modi received the first Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award in Mumbai. 

One Twitter user also shared a tweet from Mumbai Traffic Police, which read, “Due to VIP movement Traffic may be slow on Western Express Highway at Santacruz towards Dharavi, Matunga between 3-9 PM on dt 24-04-2022. Mumbaikars are requested to avoid using this route and use alternative routes.”
