Since the incident in which a traffic constable was suspended for towing a car while a woman was breast-feeding her baby inside, the cops have become extremely careful in handling such matters. On Tuesday, when a 75-year-old man abused the police officers who towed his two-wheeler and forcefully took back the vehicle, they decided to maintain their cool. Instead of reacting at the spot, they quietly went to the Mulund police station and filed a complaint in the matter.
