As far as police officers in India are concerned, the first impression that we commoners have of them is that they are corrupt. And who do we have to thank for the same? Of course, Bollywood.
However, a certain clip of an incident that took place in Uttar Pradesh, might make you change your mind.
In a heroic act, cops in Uttar Pradesh alerted a biker that his vehicle was on fire and prevented a possible disaster. The biker who was riding his bike on the Agra Expressway went past a police van at high speed. While the cops quickly realized that the bags fastened to the back seat of the bike were on fire, the biker seemed totally unaware of the dangerous situation.
The bike also had a woman sitting with a baby on the back seat who seemed to have no clue about the fire.
In a bid to inform the rider about what was happening behind their back, the cops started chasing the bike which was being driven at a very high speed. After a dramatic chase for about 4 kilometers, the police van finally got hold of the bike and alerted them about the fire!
