Mumbai:
Mumbai has been shocked by the pictures of three men being paraded in a busy market in South Mumbai with placards around their necks declaring them to be bag-snatchers.
The alleged thieves were made to do this walk of shame in Mumbai's Bhuleshwar area by the local police.
In their defense, the policemen involved say they wanted to prove to people in this area that they take these complaints of theft seriously.
Mumbai Police Commissioner D, Sivanandan, tells NDTV, "We have seen the reports in the media and I have ordered the highest level enquiry. We will take all suitable action to ensure this kind of incident does not happen from Colaba to Kandivili."
