It may be mentioned here that traffic in Mumbai is always chaotic, even during weekends and any further delay can sap the patience of even a die hard Mumbaikar.
My sincere apologies to those who were stopped by police unnecessarily. People in the state have always seen me stopping at traffic signals.

I don’t believe in VIP culture. Unless there is emergency or real threat perception inputs police shouldn’t trouble the people.
