Traffic constable taken for a ride, literally

Press Trust Of India

Pune: In an incident that resembled a stunt scene straight from movies, a man in Pune sped his car through a city lane with a traffic constable clinging precariously to the bonnet.

The car was brought to a grinding halt only after gun shots were fired, rupturing the speeding vehicle's tyres, police said.

Earlier, the car, driven by Kamal Jain, a Canada-based NRI, was spotted in front of a hotel in a no-parking zone following which the traffic policeman tried to fix a jammer to book the owner for violation, the police said.

However, when Jain saw the constable near the car, he made his way to the steering wheel and started the vehicle in a jiffy.

He did not stop even when the cop, after failing to hold him back, stepped on to the bonnet.
