Ms Mogre noticed the officers taking pictures of her scooter and according to the police she tried to snatch the phone and abused the officers on duty. Since the officers on-duty could not handle the situation, senior police inspected was called.

She was stopped at the next police checkpoint and was asked to come to the police station.
