A day after traffic policemen stalled movement of public vehicles to make way for his convoy, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to people and insisted that he shuns VIP culture.

Traffic policemen outside the venue of a function at NSCI club in Mumbai stopped vehicles of the public to make way for his convoy.

Members of the club were even denied entry as the CM was present inside the premises.

Fadnavis said, "My sincere apologies to those who were stopped by the police unnecessarily. People in the state have always seen me stopping at traffic signals.

"I would make inquiry into the NSCI incident. Unless there is an emergency or real threat perception inputs, police shouldn't trouble people," he tweeted.

"I don't believe in VIP culture,' he said.
