MUMBAI: The swanky, two-storey Navghar police beat chowky at Bhayander has builder Lallan Tiwaris name on display prominently. Tiwari, who funded its construction, says he did it out of sympathy for policemen who had no shelter from the sun or rain.

Senior police officers have allegedly obtained funds from these benefactors for the chowkies, which do not have the state governments approval or budgetary support.
