Mumbai’s BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) recently discovered a person collecting parking fees illegally at Jamnalal Bajaj Marg, Nariman Point—an area designated free parking since May 25. During a routine patrol on Thursday (June 19, 2025), a civic officer spotted a man charging motorists around 11:45 am and recorded video evidence. Following the complaint, an FIR was lodged at Marine Drive police station.

This marks the second FIR in recent weeks related to unauthorized parking charges in Mumbai. Previously, an FIR was filed on June 4 for a man collecting fees at Nagindas Master Lane in Fort—another spot declared free after a contractor’s term ended.
