Clarifying on the incident involving his brother in which he was seen trespassing in a private property and issuing threats to a project proponent, St Andre MLA Viresh Borkar said that it was an act of frustration as the project continued despite there being a stay.

"But the builder has shown scant respect for the order and the work is going on day and night," he added while adding that such care-a-damn attitude brings about frustration, which was seen in the action by my brother.
