21 October,2010 12:00 PM ISTAn Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) tried to intimidate officials from Navghar Police station (Mulund) after his son was hauled up for having tinted glass on his car windows. As the Mumbai traffic police swing into action over tinted glass on car windows, a young man was caught yesterday afternoon with tinted car windows. He argued vehemently with the police, even calling them biased for catching him and not others. When he was brought to the police station, it was found that he was the son of an ACP.
