Interfering in a fight between friends can prove dangerous even for the police, as two cops in Borivli East learnt on Thursday night. When the policemen saw three friends locked in a drunken brawl outside a bar, they tried to intervene, only for the trio to turn on them and abuse and assault them. The Kasturba Marg police have since arrested the three for assaulting police personnel.

The accused were identified as Gaurang Shah, 43, (share broker and resident of Kandivli West), Nareshbhai Jasani, 43, (diamond broker, and resident of Borivli West), and Wajid Shaikh, 43, (bar employee and resident of Borivali East).
