An overzealous police official turned a deaf ear to the requests of a woman biker, who was caught violating road safety rules on Tuesday.
The woman was caught by a senior police official for wrong-side driving while dropping her child at the Stewart School in Unit-8 here.
Accepting her fault, the woman rendered an apology and requested the senior police official to let her go. As her another child was alone at home and hungry, the woman pleaded with folded hands to the cop to allow her to go. She even fell on her knees before the police official.
Some locals also appealed to the police official to let her go, but all the pleas were deftly ignored. And the police official snatched the key of the woman’s two-wheeler.
In her reaction, Traffic DCP Sagarika Nath said, “Wrong-side driving is the reason for seizing the vehicle, which is very much as per the law. When you drive on the wrong side of the road, you put law-abiding citizens’ lives at risk and we will take action against those risking others’ lives irrespective of who that person is. And we will not be sorry for upholding the law.”
