A reckless incident has emerged from Maharashtra wherein a woman traffic cop was dragged for over 100 metres by an auto driven by a drunk man.

Policewoman Bhagyashree Jadhav was on duty at a crossing in Satara city when he had asked the auto to stop for checking. Fearing that he would be penalised for driving under the influence, auto driver Devraj Kale refused to stop and tried to escape.

The auto dragged the policewoman along for 120 metres as she clung to it, showed disturbing visuals captured on CCTV cameras. It eventually came to a halt as passersby swung into action and blocked its way. They also thrashed Kale and rescued the cop. The driver was later arrested by the police.
