Raipur: A 23-year-old man, Jitendra Kumar Hardayal Singh, who claimed to be from Durg, Chhattisgarh, was arrested by Bandra police in Mumbai on May 20 for allegedly trespassing at Galaxy Apartment, the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan. However, Durg police stated that the address he provided appears to be fabricated, as no location named Dhumardhin exists in the district.

Jitendra, reportedly a resident of Dhumardhin in Ward No. 15, Durg, Chhattisgarh, was arrested by Bandra police on May 20.

According to FIR filed by Bandra police, Jitendra was seen roaming outside Galaxy Apartment, Bandstand, Bandra, around 8 am on May 20.
