North Goa SP Harischandra Madkaikar reportedly made police personnel perform squats after they stopped an IAS official during a traffic check. The official, allegedly angered by the stop, later returned, emptied his car boot onto the road, and challenged the officers to search it again before complaining to a senior. This incident has reportedly demoralized the police force.
