<p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>The passerby asked the taxi driver to pull over, but he ignored their pleas and continued driving. </span></p>
<p>This incident bears a resemblance to a previous case from 2023 in Navi Mumbai, where a man attempted to flee the scene after a traffic violation.</p>
<p>In April 2023, traffic policeman Siddeshwar Mali and another officer attempted to stop a car driven by Aditya Bembde, who was allegedly under the influence of drugs. As they tried to check the car, Bembde allegedly tried to run over Mali.</p>
<p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Mali was knocked and landed on the bonnet of the car. Bembde then drove over 20 kilometers with the traffic cop clinging to the car bonnet.</span></p>
<p>Meanwhile, more details about the recent incident are awaited.</p>
