A 35-year-old man caught for drink driving allegedly manhandled and threatened an on-duty constable in Mumbai while claiming to be the son of a senior police officer, an official said on Sunday.
The incident took place on Friday at Four Bungalows locality in Andheri area and the accused was later arrested, the Versova police official said.
The constable stopped the accused, identified as Vikas Mishra who used to provide security guards for events in the city, while conducting the checking for drunk driving, he said.
The accused was found driving a car under the influence of alcohol. When the constable asked him to show his driving license and other papers, the accused got angry and started arguing with the cop, the official said.
The accused abused and threatened the constable by saying his father is a "DSP" (deputy superintendent of police), he said.
A person present at the spot shot a video of the incident which later went viral on social media.
