Traffic cop fined Rs 2000 for violations

In a case of a law enforcer turning law breaker, a Thane traffic constable was fined Rs 2,000 on Oct 27 for riding a friend's scooter flouting road safety norms, reports Nishikant Karlikar. The cop did not have a valid driving licence, the vehicle's side mirrors were missing, and it had an obscure number plate and unauthorised stickers resembling official insignia, resulting in a Rs 500 fine for each violation. The constable was called out by a biker who was earlier penalised by him for riding without a helmet. A video of the two in an argument near Wagle Estate went viral, forcing department brass to act against the cop.
