Controversy
Stopped by Constable for not Wearing a Seat Belt
In March 2007, while driving a car, Parag was stopped for not wearing a seat belt by a constable named Narsingh Himabhai. He was fined Rs 100, which he initially refused to pay but later paid it under the false name of Maganbhai C Patel. Reportedly, using the fake name heated up an argument in which Parag’s wife, Minaben, slapped the constable and threatened to break his skull. Narsingh filed a complaint against them. The case was settled in 2011 in the local court of Vadodara.
