Pak national using red beacon on car
The Bombay high court on Monday directed the police to produce all details about offences registered against a Pakistani national, Sayyed Waseem-ur-Rehman Shan, who was recently found to be using a red beacon on his private vehicle — a facility only allowed for government employees. In an acerbically worded directive, the court also expressed displeasure over laxity on part of the Mumbai police.
The management of the Dargah Hazrat Khwaja Mansurul, a shrine located in Bhandup, had moved court against Shah, claiming that he was trying to take over the land on which the dargah was located. Shah has been with the shrine as a spiritual
guide for several years now.
Lawyers Rajiv Patil and Ajit Kenjale for the complainant, submitted that a complaint was being registered against Shah for allegedly making inflammatory speeches, and that he also had prior offences registered against him in Mumbai and Sangli. The lawyers also submitted photographs of Shah’s car with the red beacon, saying that he was roaming unhindered in the city, despite being a repeat offender. Hearing the petition, a division bench of Justices A.S. Oka and S.S. Jadhav asked the police, “How can you let this man, who has offences registered against him, roam freely in the city?”
Rajendra Mandhare, police inspector, CID, also filed an affidavit before the HC, with details of Shah’s movements in and out of India.
