Ranvir Shorey ‘let go’ by Mumbai Police: ‘I may have lost 8 hours, but not my faith in you’

Ranvir Shorey, who live-tweeted his wait at the police station after his car was impounded for driving his house help to the hospital, got his car back after eight hours.

Ranvir Shorey has been allowed to leave by Mumbai Police after tweeting for eight hours about his ordeal. Sharing the news, he wrote, “After more than 8 hours, we have been let go. No FIR, car not impounded. Thank you, @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice for listening, albeit a bit late. I may have lost 8 hours, but not my faith in you.”

Ranvir Shorey tweeted continuously during his eight-hour wait at the police station.

On Wednesday, Ranvir revealed in a series of tweets that he was stopped by the police for stepping out of his house. He said that he was driving a member of his domestic staff to the hospital for the birth of his child but the officer-in-charge did not think it was an ‘emergency’ and took him to the station.

Throughout his eight-hour wait at the police station, Ranvir tweeted about the ‘harassment’ that he was subjected to and slammed the officer for talking to the media about him.

After waiting for more than six hours, Ranvir wrote, “3 hapless people made to wait for more than 6 hours. What are we being punished for? @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @DGPMaharashtra.”

Ranvir’s tweets got the attention not only of the Mumbai Police, who promised to look into the matter. Maharashtra environment and tourism minister Aaditya Thackeray replied to his tweet saying, “@MumbaiPolice please ensure delivery of the car as well. Kindly assist.”

On the work front, Ranvir was last seen in the Netflix comedy Hasmukh, starring Vir Das. His most recent big screen outing was Homi Adajania’s Angrezi Medium.
