For the first time, traffic police officials issued a challan worth Rs 520 to a cyclist for ‘wrong-way driving’ here, it has been learnt.
In the video that went viral on social media, traffic police officials can be seen issuing the challan to cyclist Muhammad Iqbal for wrong-way driving in Clifton area of Karachi.
The cyclist begs pardon from the police officers and requests the cops to let him go but the police officers seize his NIC and issue a challan ticket to Iqbal.
Iqbal said, “I do not have money to feed my children. How will I pay the fine?”
But the police officers turned a deaf ear to the cyclist and handed the challan over to him.
Meanwhile, the IG Sindh took notice of the video and directed DIG traffic to launche investigations into the issue.
