00:00 As soon as the video of Urfi Javed getting arrested by the Mumbai police went viral on
00:06 social media, many had already guessed that the actor turned fashionista was up to something.
00:13 The prank has now turned into a nightmare for Urfi.
00:16 The Mumbai police on Friday booked the social media influencer and Bigg Boss contestant
00:20 for maligning their image through a fake arrest video.
00:25 One can't violate law of the land for cheap publicity.
00:29 A viral video of a woman being allegedly arrested by Mumbai police in a case of obscenity is
00:34 not true.
00:35 Insignia and uniform has been misused, Mumbai police said on social media platform X after
00:41 the Urfi Javed arrested video went viral.
00:45 A criminal case has been registered against those involved in the misleading video at
00:49 Koshiwara police station under sections 171, 419, 500, 34 of the IPC, the police said.
00:56 While further investigation is on, the fake inspector is under arrest and the vehicle
01:00 has been seized, the police added.
01:03 Mumbai police while taking to Instagram stories and other social media platforms has emphasised
01:08 the falseness of the video, assuring the public of their commitment to uphold the law without
01:13 succumbing to sensationalism.
01:15 They reinforced that the enforcement of law is never a tool for garnering cheap publicity
01:20 and denounce any violation of legal protocols.
01:22 Javed, who is often in news for her fashion choices and her associates, staged a raid
01:28 where a few people personnated as police officials to take action against her for wearing skimpy
01:33 outfits.
01:34 A reel of the act, deemed defamatory by the police, went viral on social media.
01:39 Urfi later took to social media and shared that it was a campaign shoot to promote her
01:44 fashion collection launch, Freakin Urfication with Freakins India.
01:49 "I was arrested by the fashion police for my fierce fashion game, but nothing can stop
01:53 me," Urfi wrote.
