This incident is similar to a case from Navi Mumbai in 2023, where a man attempted to escape after a traffic violation. In April 2023, traffic police official Siddeshwar Mali and another officer tried to stop a car driven by Aditya Bembde, who was suspected of being under the influence of drugs. When they attempted to check the car, Bembde allegedly tried to run over Mali. The cop was knocked down and landed on the car’s bonnet. Bembde then drove for over 20 kilometers with the traffic cop still clinging to the bonnet.
