A drunk businessman and his friend sped away in their car dragging the alcometer and a traffic constable holding it for 100 metres. When the constable told the driver he would die if he did not stop the car, the driver punched him on the arm causing the constable to fall off the running car on the busy road.

The incident took place on Monday night near Mulund toll plaza where the traffic constable Balaji Doiphode, attached to Vikhroli traffic division, was deployed to catch drunk drivers.
