A traffic police constable was dragged on the bonnet of a car for over 1 km after he tried to stop the car for jumping a traffic signal at Vasai on the outskirts of Mumbai, according to local police. The driver has been arrested and charged with attempt to murder.

The incident happened on late Sunday evening in Vasai town of Palghar district. The constable was on duty at a busy road crossing and flagged down the car for the traffic violation.
