In the Shimpoli area of Borivli, there is a complaint regarding the establishment of a massive fruit market on a plot that is supposedly reserved for a playground. The complainant, Manish Dube, filed a complaint against Apna Fruit Market in May and raised the issue with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), seeking action against the encroachment. However, this action has landed him in trouble.

The president of the fruit market, Rajiv Mishra, and one of the vendors, filed an extortion case against Dube and two others, Chandrakant Gupta and his brother Jitendra, on July 11, 2023. The vendors claimed that Dube and the Gupta brothers demanded money from them to drop the encroachment complaint.
