Mahesh
Manjrekar
has
been
booked
after
a
non-cognizable
complaint
was
registered
at
Yavat
Police
Station
in
Pune
on
January

2021.
According
to
the

over
an

on
the
same
day.
The
offence
is
registered
under
sections
323,
504
and
506
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code.
According
to
reports,
the
complainant
Kailash
Satpute
had
dashed
into
Manjarekar's
car
from
the
back
"mistakenly"
while
on
the
way
to
Solapur.
Talking
about
the
incident
as
described
by
the
complainant,
Inspector
Bhausaheb
Patil
told
Indian
Express,
"The
incident
took
place
on
Friday
night,
on
Pune
Solapur
highway.
Near
Yavat,
Manjrekar's
car
was
hit
by
complainant's
car.
The
incident
was
followed
by
a
heated
argument
between
them.
The
complainant
Satpute
has
claimed
that
he
was
slapped
and
abused
by
Manjrekar.
We
have
registered
a
non-cognizable
offence."
Mahesh
Manjrekar
also
opened
up
about
the
incident
and
revealed
that
the
damages
to
his
car
would
cost
him
around
Rs
4
lakh.
He
also
revealed
that
the
ones
driving
the
car
that
hit
his
car
"were
clearly
drunk.
After
the
incident,
the
driver
did
not
even
bother
to
get
out
of
the
car
to
apologise."
Manjrekar
noted
that
the
person
filed
a
complaint
on
Saturday
and
"not
on
the
same
night
because
he
was
drunk
at
that
time.
I
don't
know
why
it
is
being
made
into
a
big
issue."
"I
was
on
my
way
to
Chaufula
for
a
shoot,
where
a
crew
of
around
200
people
were
waiting
for
me.
I
was
in
a
hurry
for
the
shoot
and
decided
not
to
file
a
complaint
because
people
were
waiting
for
me.
Now
I
feel
I
should
have
gone
to
the
police
station," the
filmmaker
added.
