In recent past, we have brought to you a lot of news revealing the bright side of Police department. But today comes a shocking incident from a Mumbai based journalist named Rachita Prasad, who claims a guy in Mumbai Police uniform stopped her cab and asked them to drop him wherever he wants. When the concerned lady insists on him getting out of her vehicle he shouts abuses at her, too. She shares the story in a thread of tweets.
My cab was stuck in traffic near CST when a guy in @MumbaiPolice uniform opens the door & sits in front seat. He orders us where to drop him

He barged into cab without asking. When I ask him what he thinks he is doing, he says "jidhar bola hai chalo" @MumbaiPolice

I told him to get off or I will call @MumbaiPolice and he says "main hee police hai. Abhi chalo, Teri gaadi nahi hai ye."

I told the driver not to move until he gets off. This man finally gets off. Shouts cuss words at me & tells me "tere baap ki gaadi nahi hai"

The girl’s act was praised by Twitterati and people started tagging Mumbai Police in the thread
So often we find policemen breaking simple laws (no helmets on bikes). @sanushas asked a cop to pay half fare when he jumped in her auto.

The Mumbai Police took cognizance of the situation
Regret your inconvenience. We are trying to establish the identity of the person for further action. Zonal DCP has been asked to monitor.

update :
Update: Checked with Jt Commissioner, he says they have found CCTV footage of incident. But image is very dark so his team is working on it https://t.co/L4D2wc8tZL

It was a relief to see Mumbai Police reacting to her tweets and even working on establishing the identity of the accused. And till it’s proved that the person is actually a policeman and no fraud, will it be right to accuse the department?? Let us know in the comment section your take on the issue!
