Ugly cops banned from Mumbai World Cup final: reports
New Delhi - Authorities in Mumbai have banned ugly policemen from duties at the final of the cricket World Cup scheduled at the city's Wankhede stadium, news reports said Thursday.
Mumbai police chief Arup Patnaik had directed top officials that only attractive and good-looking policemen should be deployed for the April 2 final, the Hindustan Times said in a report.
Patnaik had 'strictly prohibited' overweight and tobacco-chewing policemen from the 1,500 staff on duty that day, in order to show the city and its police force in a good light.
Only 'well-mannered and presentable' policemen would be on duty for the finals, police sources told local media.
'He (Patnaik) is showing personal interest in each and every aspect of security for the ground,' a senior police officer told the PTI news agency.
