A 29-Year-old man was arrested by the Waliv police in Vasai after he allegedly set his bike ablaze on Monday, following an argument with a traffic police constable who stopped him during a nakabandi and demanded vehicle documents for verification.

Bhanupratap Triloknath Pandey, 29, a resident of Sai Ishwar building in Fatherwadi, Vasai, works at a petrol pump in Goregaon. He was returning home after work when traffic police constable Sachin Mohane stopped him. “I was at the nakabandi point at Gokhire Naka in Vasai East on May 1 and stopped Pandey’s bike around 6.30 pm. I asked for the vehicle’s documents but he started abusing me and said he would not show any papers,” Mohane said.
