Hear this Gua Police... Shame on you. Someone steals 20 lack rupees in Goa, walks past you, crosses the border with his arse laughing at you guys and is caught up in Mumbai, that too by a Traffic Cop. Isn't this a lesson enough for you to learn??? Nah! Nah!! Nah!!! If it was some politician's money, he would have been caught within minutes, but what to do now??? Please don't try to take the credit for yourselves once he is brought to Goa. Herald must already be waiting to take the pics of your mugs.
ReplyDeleteThese are some rare finds with the Indian Police Force. One does not hear such incidents as this - a traffic constable jumping off his traffic podium and catching a thief.
ReplyDeleteThere are many such policeman who are sincere, professional and make decisions on the spur of the moment to the call of duty. They do not wait for orders and are ready to protect and serve as a humble servant of the people and to the country.
Constable Shankar Salunkhe is an example of a true citizen who deserves a salute an a secondment for his actions.
johnads... Knowing our system, I wonder if anyone has appreciated his actions or reprimanded him for leaving his job and trying to be a hero. If Constable Salunkhe had not interfered, the thief would have disappeared to no man's land only to re-surface in Goa after some time knowing that this is the best place to make money just like our corrupt ministers.
