LUDHIANA CALLING

Ever seen law enforcers breaking the law? The other day a cop was seen jumping the red light near the Kacheri Chowk in broad daylight. While other commuters were waiting for the green light, a policeman in uniform, came on a scooter and jumped the light without even thinking twice. And surprisingly the traffic cops posted on the chowk did not stop him. Law breakers or law enforcers?
