The Mumbai police conducts nakabandis to ensure that law and order is maintained in the city and commuters follow traffic rules. But what happens when this very exercise claims the life of a common man? This is what happened on Friday afternoon when PK Arora, a 56-year-old man, lost his life after his motorbike hit a barricade, which the Kandivli police forgot to clear after their routine nakabandi. Arora’s kin is in a state of shock.
