Some, though, questioned Tendulkar for filming while driving in the city
@sachin_rt @MumbaiPolice dear sachin I respect you lot but using phone or filming while driving is not good example for people how to drive.

Now, while we don't know who was driving and who was filming, it's safe to say that the Mumbai police truly deserves respect for braving such inclement weather while executing their job.
