This weekend, Mumbai cops managed to slam the brakes on a group of bike racers who were caught zipping past the Kalanagar-Sea Link stretch. It's after a span of over six months - since the massive police crackdown on bike racing - that the racers had dared to hit the streets of Bandra Reclamation. A high-octane midnight chase later, 17 of the offenders were arrested.

A report in this paper explained how the police personnel swung into action immediately after being informed about the gang burning rubber near the Sea Link. While our cops need to be praised for quick thinking and alertness, the resurgence of biker gangs is vexing.
