Pandey (23), a resident of Goregaon was in the car near the Shivar garden area of Mira Road at around 10.30 pm. She was listening to music when a patrol van approached them. The policemen warned then against playing loud music and allowed them to go. According to Pandey, as they were leaving, the policemen asked her name and on realising that she was a model, they slapped indecent behaviour charges against her.
API Praful Wagh from the Mira Road police station said that Pandey was waiting alone in the secluded area. No male was accompanying her. Wagh said that he found her skimpily dressed and behaving indecently. She was bought to the police station and booked under sections 110 (indecent behaviour) and 117 of the Mumbai Police Act.
