To quote a friend
“Who the hell is this Vasant Dhoble?”
Vasant Dhoble is a police man who seems to have a stranglehold on the Mumbai nightlife. He disapproves of women drinking, cavorting and fun in general. The youngsters need to be protected he says. (Or so I gather. I summarise. He says a great deal more I’m sure)
- Mumbai’s nightlife reputation under serious threat
- CCTV shows cop slapping man, using hockey stick for threats
- Mumbai being Talibanised, young Mumbaikars say
- Why I love Mumbai
Although I’m not really in Bombay anymore, I like to live vicariously.
Besides this man has a head that was designed to be photoshopped.
Vasant Dhoble in… Saturday Night Fever
Vasant Dhoble in … Dirty Dancing. No one puts baby in the corner!
Vasant Dhoble rolling. Tsk tsk. Doesn’t he know this is poor morality?
If you’ve ever been to a wilder party… you’re under arrest.
Haw! Vasant Dhoble attends a Playboy party. Shameless!
Vasant Dhoble in … Eyes Wide Shut. (Fetching mask that)
Vasant Dhoble…in Eyes Wide Shut. He gets more and more depraved as time goes on.
All he wanted to do was dance.
Use the cut out head of Vasant Dhoble below to create your very own Vasant Dhoble moment!
The Bollywood poster is my favorite. He looks as if he’s ready to bite off the poor little chicken’s head.
Someone suggested Peter Sellers the party. Good suggestion, very apt.
Brilliant. =D
Oh and not to be nitpicky, but stranglehold is one word. Just in case it was entering cupboard territory.
that is VERY nitpicky of you. Which by the way, my spellchecker flags up as a non word
It isn’t a word. But it should be.

I could swear I left a comment here, and its vanished. Perhaps VD had something to do with it.. I think it went something like, WHO THE EFF IS THIS VASANT DHOBLE?!
He is an ass. Just click through the links you’ll see
haha, so precise. An Ass.
Ok I get it. Karnataka has one specimen like this too. And then they ran the Pink Chaddi Campaign to shut him up/
oh yes! that was a good campaign. I think the thing I resent the most is that young couples are not allowed to hang out at bandstand or hold hands etc. It’s ridiculous!
So i was ag bandstand just this past friday and theres this giant sign board, clearly put up by locals, that read something to the effect of ‘mumbai’s youth need freedom. Give it to us or we take it.’ also the scenario at bandstand remains largely unchanged. Both the sign and normalcy made me super happy to see that at least people arent afraid of the goon.
Take a photo!!
