The police officers in India can get on our nerves. From bribes to unnecessary harassment, we cannot overlook the nuisance that is our police officers sometimes.
An incident has been reported from the outskirts of Mumbai where a senior police inspector, from Dombivli police station, was caught on CCTV camera breaking several liquor bottles inside a bar.
Madhavi Shahastrabudhe, the owner of the bar, claimed that that the policeman was harassing her after she denied to pay Rs 50 lakh bribe.
Madhavi in her complaint mentioned that Pawar was targetting her because she could not pay him the hefty amount to drop a false case of food poisoning registered against her husband.
However, Inspector Pawar denied all allegations and said that he was trying to maintain law and order.
According to sources, the accused entered the bar at 2.40am along with a constable asking the owner to shut the bar down because they were operating much after the legal curfew time.
The owner refused to shut the bar down. That’s when the cop took action and started breaking liquor bottles on the ground and abused the bar’s staff.

Further investigation for this case is underway, revealed Zonal Deputy Commissioner of Police Sanjay Shinde.
We are not alien to the concept of hefty bribes asked by policemen. However, until the case further unfolds, we are not very sure how to feel about this!
