Two traffic police officers including a Woman Police Constable (WPC) of the Mahim division were assaulted by a taxi driver and his five other members of his gang near Paradise cinema on Monday evening around 6 pm.

"After violating the traffic rule, a taxi driver took a right turn at Paradise cinema. When the on-duty traffic constable, Gyaneshwar Meshram (45), asked the taxi driver to halt the vehicle, he got into a heated argument with the constable and later drove towards Senapati Bapat Marg,” said the source.
