Several bar owners and patrons in Thane were almost yanked out of their inebriated state when a tall policeman in a crisp khakhi uniform entered the bar along with three constables. Assuming it to be a raid, many started fleeing the spot, until they were stopped by the cop, who turned out to be the Joint Commissioner of police, VV Lakshminarayana. Only, he was not there to rough up miscreants, but to motivate them to follow a better lifestyle. Lakshminarayana is famous in Thane as an honest cop and thorough gentleman.
