Even the police are not spared' is the foremost reaction to our report about a constable getting severely injured because of the reckless riding of an errant youth, who was triple riding. Not just that, the rider had earlier broken a signal and was speeding, which actually led to the accident.

The three youths, who are in police custody until today, were heading towards the signal at Bakli court on Saturday afternoon when 52-year-old constable, Sharad Nana Patil, walked in front of the bike to stop the rider. The speeding biker, however, lost control and fell on the road but only after hitting the constable. Patil, who was sent flying in the air and later crashed hard on the road, fractured both his hands.
