Flat line

It wasn’t just the supporters of India Against Corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal who tried to stop the bus carrying their leader and his aides to jail by dramatically lying down in front of it. A more mundane reason also slowed Kejriwal’s journey to Bawana: a flat tyre. And, in keeping with the almost Keystone Cops nature of the drama, the policemen accompanying the bus tried to push it along instead of doing the obvious thing and getting the flat fixed.
