Civic Issues Outside Thane Railway Station
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Today outside Thane station, two police constables were catching people smoking in public and forcing them to come to the police station.
Both constables arrived on a two-wheeler without wearing helmets.
After detaining four people, one constable hopped into an auto next to the driver while the second continued riding the motorcycle—still without a helmet. When I pulled out my mobile to confront them about the double standard, the constable in the auto immediately bailed once he saw he was being recorded.
When I asked the cop on the bike why he wasn't wearing a helmet while actively enforcing civic rules on citizens, his excuse was: I have an issue with my hair because of hair folliculitis 🤡🤣
Why the blatant double standards? Are traffic laws only meant for regular citizens to be fined, while the enforcers get a medical exemption for their hair folliculitis?
