Anil Mishra, a small-time producer, alleged the composer of Nadeem-Shravan fame tipped off the police and made them arrest him recently; he claims Shravan is settling scores for his removal from his film 'Zanjeer 2'
A film producer has accused music director Shravan Rathod of trying to trap him falsely in a police case. Anil Mishra, a film producer and member of the Food Corporation of India (FCI), has complained against composer Shravan Rathod for threatening, harassing and trying to implicate him falsely in a police case.

On January 4, the Charkop police had arrested Mishra, a Malad resident, for misusing the national emblem and sporting a ‘Government of India’ plate on his private car. Mishra said he was using the symbols because he was a member of the FCI. Mishra was later released on bail after paying a fine of Rs 10,000.

According to Mishra, as he came out of the police station, he received a call from Rathod, who claimed that the police had arrested Mishra because of him. Rathod allegedly claimed that police could arrest Mishra in the future, too. The producer claims this was revenge for having removed Rathod from his movie Zanjeer 2.
“Rathod is settling the dispute this way. I had removed him from my movie Zanjeer 2,” said Mishra, who complained to the Charkop police last week, and registered two non-cognisable complaints, copies of which are in MiD DAY’s possession. “I have received the complaints and the matter is under investigation,” said Anand Koli, senior inspector, Charkop police station.
