The pothole on Kurla Andheri Road. Pic/Ashish Rane

A senior inspector with the Sakinaka Police station who was travelling home on his scooty on the Western Express Highway at Andheri last night fell off his bike when it suddenly hit a 5-foot-wide pothole. As it was a Sunday, with relatively low traffic movement, he did not come under another vehicle and escaped only with badly grazed knees.
