A surprising incident unfolded in Thane, Mumbai, on Tuesday when a college student chased down two traffic police officers on their scooter for alleged rule violations.
The student claimed the two officers were riding with a faded number plate and not wearing helmets. He pursued them, caught up, and recorded the violation on his mobile phone. The video of the incident is now circulating widely online.
Reports suggest the student's actions may have been prompted by a previous encounter where the same two officers allegedly fined him Rs 2,000 for a mistake. The student is believed to have paid that fine.
This video of officers themselves appearing to break the rules they are supposed to enforce has sparked public debate and puts the spotlight on accountability within the traffic police department.
