The Complaint: “Is This Legal?”
A little before midnight on Saturday, December 27, 2025, Sushant Singh posted a video from his residential balcony in Amboli, Andheri West.
- The Target: A rooftop restaurant named Trove9, located adjacent to his building.
- The Violation: The video, recorded at 10:40 PM, captured high-decibel music still blaring from the open-air establishment.
- The Actor’s Post: “Dear @MumbaiPolice this rooftop restaurant Trove9 next to my residential building has been blaring loud music for the last few nights past 10 PM. Is this legal?”
Police Action and Public Support
The Mumbai Police’s social media cell responded promptly, notifying the Amboli Police Station to initiate a “beat patrol” check. Following the police acknowledgement, Singh deleted the original tweet, but not before it sparked a wider conversation on urban noise control.
Netizens largely supported the actor, citing the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, which strictly prohibit loudspeakers in open spaces after 10 PM. Some users even referenced the 2025 Bombay High Court ruling in Jaago Nehru Nagar Residents Welfare Association v. Commissioner of Police, which reinforced the “Right to Sleep” as a fundamental right under Article 21.
Mumbai Noise Regulations: A Quick Guide
Under the current laws, the maximum permissible noise levels in residential areas are strictly capped to ensure tranquility.
| Zone Category | Day Limit (6 AM – 10 PM) | Night Limit (10 PM – 6 AM) |
| Residential Area | 55 dB | 45 dB |
| Silence Zone | 50 dB | 40 dB |
| Commercial Area | 65 dB | 55 dB |
Note: Open-air music must stop by 10:00 PM unless a specific extension (usually until midnight for festivals) has been granted by authorities.
Sushant Singh: A Career of Vigilance
While Sushant Singh made his mark in gritty cinema like Satya and Jungle, he became a household name as the face of Savdhaan India, a role he held for nine years. His recent social media intervention reinforces his image as a socially conscious citizen who isn’t afraid to “blow the whistle” on local nuisances.
The actor was most recently seen in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, which hit theaters earlier this month.
