A woman traffic constable attached to the Vikhroli traffic division had a harrowing experience after she stopped a 20-year-old woman from riding her scooter on the wrong side of the road. The incident took place around 4.30 pm on April 16 at Haveli Bridge in Ghatkopar.

Manisha Gaikwad, 35, stopped Pooja Sangani, 20, who was travelling with another woman riding pillion but was abused by the latter for doing so. Sangani also assaulted her and tried to run her scooter over Gaikwad’s leg, which resulted in a fracture. Gaikwad, with the help of other traffic police officers, managed to nab Sangani and took her to the Tilak Nagar police station at Ghatkopar. However, the police refused to register a case due to a jurisdiction issue. When the FIR was registered after sorting out the issue, the police only issued a notice to Sangani and let her go without taking any action.
