A Navi Mumbai man recently praised the local police for their sudden act of kindness towards him and his friends. Sharing a post on Reddit, a user claimed that the Navi Mumbai police had safely driven them home after they discovered the drunk group.
The user mentioned how the police carefully drove them home without complaining and scolding or cutting a challan.Sharing a hard-hitting post, a Reddit user wrote, "Navi Mumbai Police drove my car last night. Still processing what happened.”
The man explained, “I'll be honest with you all, I messed up last night. We were out celebrating, drank way more than we should have, and somehow convinced ourselves we could figure out getting home. We had the car. Nobody was thinking straight. Classic stupid decision in the making. Navi Mumbai Police stopped us. I was ready for the lecture. The challan. Maybe worse. We deserved all of it.”
What Happened After That?
The Reddit user said that one of the officers took his car keys, got in the driver's seat, and personally drove them home. His colleague followed in the police vehicle. Not just that, they dropped each one of them at their doors. "Made sure we got inside safely. No fines. No shouting. No making us feel like garbage even though we kind of were being garbage,” the user added.
At last, the police officer advised the guy and said, “Don't do this again. Call someone next time.”
“These guys didn't have to do any of this. They could've impounded the car. They could've taken us to the station. They could've just called a cab and left. Instead, they spent their night making sure some drunk idiots got home safe.”
Thanking the Navi Mumbai resident, the police thanked them. The person wrote, “You didn't just do your job. You restored something I didn't know I'd lost, basic faith in the system actually caring about people.” He concluded his post by calling the police "heroes."
How Did The Netizens React?
The netizens appreciated the sweet gesture of the Navi Mumbai police. A user said, “Educated police.” Another commented, “I was broken and emotional; the cop helped me and got me some tea. I don't even drink tea, but I felt better. Cops are human too; we will have our good experiences.”
A third expressed, “We should loudly appreciate this behavior." A fourth wrote, “Once you're sober, visit the police station and meet the ones who helped you; thank them in person. Also, as a gesture, take some gifts for them; it could be some food and some light drinks or bottled water, etc.”
