Last month when I was at Mumbai I saw this. A Maruthi 800 was parked in front of Reliance office near Hira Panna. Suddenly a traffic cop towing truck comes. 3 guys jumped off the truck. One guy started marking on the road using chalk piece, writing something. Other fella came holding a steel measuring scale and started inserting between the glass and beading of front window. Apparently he was trying to open the lock! Mean while the owner of the car came out and started shouting at them. After 4-5 mins, they left. I guess they did not fine him though.
So, even if you engage handbrake, leave the car in reverse/first gear, they can tow the car away! What if the security system is installed in the car and police try to open the lock!? How police will manage it? They might already know how to disable it as well.
BTW, guys doing these things were not police constables etcetera, but I guess they were labors contracted by police. |
