Mumbai, Oct 1 (PTI) A case has been registered here against five persons for allegedly using an SUV designed to look like a police vehicle and wearing fake police uniforms for a shoot without permission, police said on Wednesday.

They were shooting a short film in an area under the jurisdiction of Bangur Nagar police station on Monday, said an official.

Police officer Devendra Thorat saw a parked white Bolero with the Maharashtra Police logo in front of a building. A man in police uniform was standing on its bonnet while a cameraman was filming the scene from an Innova parked nearby.
