But the main inspector just dismissed it sheepishly as "jawaanoan ko josh aaja ta hai kabhi kabhi" meaning that the lower level hawaldar types doing the actual flagging off get excited. Great. I think one of these days one of them will get run over, and some poor dude will find a simple speeding offence being upgraded to a homicide charge.
Recently there've been a couple of instances where cops got bumped off in Bangalore.

after these incidents cops have become clever & have been (supposedly) advivsed not to go in front of the cars. They target only the bikes. endangering both their life & the riders.
