While patrolling, police constables Mohammed Unad and Chapraj Sindhav of Dunagar police station, signalled a car to stop. “The constables were coming on the highway from an approach road when the car zoomed past them threateningly at 1:30 am. The constables signalled the car to stop and asked its driver to accompany them to Dungar police station as they had committed the crime of rash driving. Initially, the driver obliged.
