Mumbai Man Gets 2-Year Sentence for Dragging Cop on Motorcycle
A man named Sagar Gosaliya was sentenced to two years in jail for a bad thing he did in 2015.
He was riding his motorcycle and a police officer stopped him to check his documents.
The officer let him go home to get them but told him to take a rickshaw.
Instead, Sagar tried to run away.
The officer held onto his arm, but Sagar sped up and dragged the officer for about 100 feet.
The officer got hurt and his clothes were torn.
The court said Sagar used force to stop the officer from doing his job, which is against the law.
The defense said the officer wasn't badly hurt, but the court still found Sagar guilty.
Sagar Gosaliya was sentenced to 2 years for dragging a police constable on his motorcycle in 2015.
