Perspective: 3.05 am, two men on a bike, claiming a torch as a badge, want to know where I live. What floor.

So, I'm like, tell me what station and tell me your name, and I'll tell you where I live.

Madam hum police hai. So tell me your badge number. Show me your badge. No.

Stand off ends 4 minutes later at 3.10 am. I tell them they look/act like thugs. They drive off abusing me. That's when I know they're cops.

I'm curious if this is the training @MumbaiPolice gives their "plainclothes" men. To bully and scare women because it's 3 am.

But that's not all. In the past a cop had woken her mother up after spotting Gigi reading a book by her window.

Following her tweets, Garcia was contacted by the Mumbai Police's official Twitter handle for her contact details so that they could investigate the matter further.
