During the argument, when the policeman took their bike key, one of them hit him and the other two then joined in beating him up,” said an officer.
He added, “Sanpada police station officials were on patrol at night when they saw the incident and arrested the three youngsters from the spot. They also immediately admitted the traffic cop to a Vashi hospital.”
