Officers at Khar police station received an alert from the Mumbai police control room around 2.30 am on Saturday after residents of Pacific Heights at Pali Hill, which is under the jurisdiction of the Khar police, complained about the loud music.

A police team went to Arpita’s apartment and ordered her to turn off the music. An officer from Khar police station said, “The organiser of the party (Santosh Mane, 34), who brought the music system, was told to pay a fine of Rs 12,500 and the music system was seized.”

The police allow music to be played in residential areas and public places from 6am to 10am; the decibel level permitted depends on the area, according to the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.
