Midnight checkpoint stop turns viral as cop drives pregnant woman to hospital

A late-night traffic stop has gone viral after a police officer stepped in to help a pregnant woman reach hospital—while also preventing her husband from driving under the influence.

In the widely shared reel, police stop a couple at a checkpoint. The husband is heard saying he has been drinking and explains that his wife is pregnant and needs to get to hospital urgently. Instead of letting him continue driving, the officer takes control of the car and drives the couple to the hospital himself.

The video has been widely circulated on social media, with many users praising the officer for balancing enforcement with urgency, ensuring the woman received help without risking an accident caused by drunk driving.

Several online posts identify the officer as part of the Mumbai Police, though official verification of the location and identities has not been confirmed through public police statements at the time of writing. The clip has nonetheless triggered strong engagement online, drawing comments that highlight the importance of responsible policing and timely medical support.
