MLA Ameet Satam video has gone viral on social media where BJP MLA from Andheri-West Assembly Constituency, is spotted abusing police officials and local hawkers. The MLA does not stop here and even physically assaulted the hawkers.
A video purportedly showing Satam using abusive language and kicking men who are believed to be hawkers went viral on social media. The MLA has claimed that he was demanding that officials take action against vendors who were cooking illegally in the open.
A complaint also has been filed against Ameet Satam for allegedly demanding bribe to let them continue to sell their wares.
Ameet Satam alleged that cops have failed to do their duty and their salary should be paid to him, as he is taking action against the hawkers.
In his defence Satam said, “I haven’t committed any crime. Case can be registered against me, if I am at fault. Action should also be taken against senior police inspector and DCP of the zone for they allowed hawkers to operate freely.”
The MLA, denied for the accusations and said “Why would I be so petty as to trouble small-time vendors and extort money out of them?” Satam said. “The cooking that goes on at these stalls is in violation of High Court guidelines.”
When asked about complaint filed by the hawkers, Satam said, “People make such allegations when you try to take action against them.”
DCP Paramjit Dahiya said, “We have received a written complaint in the matter. We are investigating, and if we find anything against Satam, we will book him.”
