All eyes at the Crime Conference held on Tuesday morning were on 28-year-old Rajkiran Bilaskar, a constable attached to Wadala TT Police station, who chased down robbers for 45 minutes and nabbed one of the two. Robbers armed with sickels and sword tried to attack Bilaskar. While in this nail-biting thriller, one robber managed to get away, but Bilaskar managed to nab the other. Top cop rewarded Constable Bilaskar with cash 20,000 rupees.
On midnight of January 31, Rajkiran Bilaskar was stationed on a night shift. While patrolling near MHADA Colony, he witnessed a Maruti Esteem car speeding away. Sensing something amiss, Bilaskar stsrted following car. "As I started following the car, he sped up. He must have crossed 100 km/hr mark. He reached Imax Wadala and when he saw me following him, he slowed down and stopped the car near Imax, Wadala," said Bilaskar. "I saw one person was sitting at driver's seat and the other one was at behind. He talked calmly, and apologised for overspeeding. When I demanded to see the papers of the vehicle he got baffled and before I could react, he took off. I somehow managed to save myself from being run down," Bilaskar added.
