After a prolonged four-month battle, software engineer Sachin Kapure from Lok-Nisarg Society, Mulund West, finally got clamps removed from his car and bike after they were allegedly illegally seized by the housing society’s management committee. The action came only after the registrar of co-operative societies dismissed the committee for multiple irregularities and appointed an administrator, Satyawan Ghadigaonkar, to run the society.

Kapure’s ordeal began on July 6, when the society clamped his car and bike over a parking issue. Despite his repeated complaints to the Mulund police, no action was taken to release the seized vehicles. Frustrated with the inaction, Kapure ultimately broke the clamps himself and freed his vehicles this week after informing to the administrator.
