Mumbai: A couple survived a serious accident in the city thanks to a traffic policeman who had asked them to wear a seatbelt only fifteen minutes earlier. The small act of vigilance earned constable Pravin Kshirsagar gratitude of the couple and a pat on the back from the Mumbai police commissioner.

Kshirsagar stopped Gautam Rohra and his wife on Saturday when their car reached the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), and pointed out that Rohra's wife was not wearing a seatbelt. She promptly put it on. Later, as the couple were driving towards Andheri in heavy rain, Rohra lost control of the car while going down a slope. The vehicle overturned twice and suffered significant damage, but both Gautam and his wife escaped with minor injuries as they were wearing seatbelts.

The couple later visited the BKC traffic outpost to thank constable Kshirsagar and his colleagues. Gautam Rohra also shared the incident on social media, praising the Mumbai traffic police for their vigilance and life-saving intervention. Police commissioner Deven Bharti too praised the constable in a post on X.
