In 2012, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan was accused for drinking and using abusive language before minors at the Wankhede Stadium. Now after 5 years Mumbai Police has finally come to a conclusion that all the acqusitions were false.

A social worker named Amit Maru had gone before the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MSCPCR). There he accused SRK of imprpriate behaviour after which in 2015 Mumbai Police was asked to register an FIR against the actor. After prima facie investigations police found out that SRK had used foul language before minors.

Court ordered an inquiry and marine drive police station was entrusted with the job.

According to the FIR, Khan's team Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 5 at Wankhede. After that Khan's children insisted to play on the ground. When SRK tried to enter the ground, the guard refused him. Khan reportedly got into an argument with the guard and allegedly used abusive language. Khan later explained that "he was upset when he saw the guard manhandle his daughter and reacted the way any father would have."
At that time the Marine Drive Police registered a Non-Cognisable complaint (NC) against the actor. After the incident, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Vilasrao Deshmukh, banned SRK from entering the Wankhede stadium for five years.

Petitioner Maru lawyer Aditya Pratap said, "Even the MSCPCR had gone through the case and ordered registration of FIR. A clear case under the Juvenile Justice Act is made out when someone uses abusive language before childen. The job of the police was to do a fair inquiry and not be under the influence of certain people." The report was submitted by Mumbai Police in September and Pratap said, "The matter is currently subjudice, but we will surely file a protest petition against this inquiry report which has just come to us during the next date of hearing in court."

In his statement  which he registered on June 23 this year Shah Rukh Khan said that "on May 16, 0212 by 11.45 pm when he reached Wankhede stadium the match was already over. Before the match, his son Aryan and daughter Suhana had reached the stadium with a group of 20 to 25 friends. After Kolkata Knight Riders won the tournament, all the kids were dancing below the dressing room. The security guard at Wankhede stadium, Vikas Dalvi, asked the kids to go aside. When Shahrukh khan saw the security guards instructing his kids and their friends to go aside, he told the guard that the kids were with him."

SRK added that "After this, he told his business manager Kauna Badwal to take kids out of the stadium. Around this time, someone wearing yellow shirt and specs started using abusive words which irked SRK so much that they started fighting. By the time the arguments were underway, Mumbai Cricket Association members and Chief Operating Officer of IPL Sundar Raman had reached the spot. Mumbai Police officer, ACP Iqbal Sheikh asked both the parties to cool down and after that Shah Rukh Khan left the venue. Khan has denied any allegations of being drunk at that moment. He has also denied having used abusive language."

Khan in his statement has said that "all the pictures and sounds of the incident uploaded on various sites over internet do not belong to him. The children were already in the custody of Badwal and so their was no foul word uttered before the kids. Khan also alleged that Maru was only trying to malign his image and gain cheap publicity."

The security guard at Wankhede stadium Vikas Dalvi statement was recorded by Mumbai police on June 27 this year. In his statement he said that "on that day around 20-25 kids were walking towards the pitch when he blew the whistle and asked them to stop. He told kids to leave the ground. At that moment SRK and a few of his friends got angry and charged at the security guard. The guard was attacked and abused. It was only after Iqbal Sheikh's intervention that Khan and his friends left. Dalvi too in his statement said that there was no foul language used before the children and he cannot confirm if Khan was in an inebriated condition at that point."
