Career dreams can take a person to all sorts of places, but some of these can be living nightmares, as has come to light in the Mumbai Police recruitment process. Every day in April, 2,000 to 5,000 aspirants, who are part of the police recruitment process, have been forced to stay in dangerous conditions in Aarey Milk Colony, sleeping in the open,
exposed to attacks from leopards and snakes.
