Controversy

In January 2021, he was involved in a controversy when an ex-military officer Sujit Apte filed a complaint against Amey accusing him of threatening to kill him. He filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court after the Mumbai police denied filing an FIR against Amey. In his petition, he said that Mumbai Police did not help him because they were pressurized by politicians. In an interview, Sujit said that the problem started when Municipal authorities demolished an illegal Sai Baba Mandir constructed on the footpath of his property. He claimed that the temple was built near a slum, and many people used to sit inside the illegal premises and freely consume alcohol and smoke drugs. He also said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, these activities were still taken out in the temple and even after filing a complaint, no action was taken against them. On 11 December 2020, the HC gave orders to demolish the temple. On 13 December 2020, after the structure was demolished, Amey came to Sujit’s house with local goons. In an interview, Apte remembered what Ambey told him and said,

It is because of you that our temple has been demolished. That temple belonged to our voters. They could have used it to do whatever they wished to. Who are you to interfere. Now my voters would sit on the footpath abutting your property and do charas and ganja or whatever they want.”

He also ordered Apte to remove all the security installed on his property by 16 December because they wanted to rebuild the Sai Baba Temple. He even asked the goons to sit in front of Apte’s house and drink, smoke or do whatever they wished to do. ^[3]ANI

• In July 2017, RJ Malishka played the song titled ‘What do you trust Mumbai BMC?’ on Red FM. The song became popular in just a few minutes after which the other radio channels started campaigns about it. Shiv Sena corporator Solanki Sarwankar and Amey told the Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta to take legal action against the Red FM and the Malishka for defaming Municipal Corporation. The song was about the BMC not working properly as there was a lot of traffic in Mumbai and trains were not kept properly. After the song was played, the BMC workers said that they worked a lot and did not have a festival leave. The workers also said that a lot of garbage was lifted every day and water was supplied regularly. Sarvankar demanded the Municipal Commissioner take legal action against Red FM for a false claim against the municipal employees.

• In December 2019, he criticized Devendra Fadnavis‘ wife Amruta Fadnavis in her Tweet about Thackrey. In a Twitter post, she wrote, that one cannot become a ‘Thackrey’ if they have the surname ‘Thackrey’. Replying to her Tweet, he talked about the history and said that Raghunathdada Pethway was intelligent and mighty but power-hungry Anandibai corrupted his intellect. He made the issue of morality and Raghoba became a villain. Amey criticized Amruta by saying that history should not be forgotten at present.

Very true @Dev_Fadnavis ji ! One cannot be a ‘Thackeray’ also by just putting ‘Thackrey’ surname after his name ! One needs to be true, principled & should think for betterment of people & party members above his own family & power dynamics ! @ShivSena @OfficeofUT https://t.co/3W0AsvcTeG

इतिहासात रघुनाथदादा पेशवे हे बुद्धिमान, पराक्रमी असल्याचे सुरुवातीचे उल्लेख आहेत. सत्तालोभी आनंदीबाईंनी त्यांची बुद्धी भ्रष्ट केली. त्यांनी नैतिकतेचाच मुडदा पाडला आणि राघोबा खलनायक ठरले. वर्तमानात इतिहास विसरायचा नसतो! #ठाकरेठाकरेच! #आजच्याआनंदीबाई https://t.co/5GWTWJaCe6

• In 2020, Amey took demolition action on a complaint against Lalit Restaurant & Bar at Dhobitalao. The Bombay High Court criticized his decision about demolition. The owner of the restaurant Lalit D’Souza in the petition said that the municipal corporation takes action only when a complaint is registered by politicians. Amey in his complaint said that the restaurant building was illegally built in a house gully. After this, Lalit in his petition said that the building was constructed in 1973 and the business was registered by the BMC since then. Amey’s advocate said that BMC sent a notice that was pasted on the restaurant wall, but they did not receive it because it was closed due to COVID-19. The judges in the order said, ‘We prima facie are satisfied that corporation has acted hastily upon receiving a complaint but it was not given.’
