An elderly man’s death following a traffic challan dispute has prompted disciplinary action against three traffic wardens in Sadiqabad. District Police Officer (DPO) Irfan Ali Samoon suspended the personnel over alleged negligence during the incident.
The incident reportedly occurred after traffic officials issued a challan to a young man for violating traffic rules. However, a subsequent request to reverse the fine ended in tragedy when his elderly relative collapsed and died.
How Did the Traffic Challan Dispute Turn Tragic?
According to a police spokesperson, the traffic wardens initially stopped a young man for violating traffic regulations. They subsequently issued him a traffic challan for the offence.
Later, the young man approached the traffic officials alongside his elderly relative. They requested the wardens to cancel the challan and reconsider the penalty.
However, the officials refused to withdraw the fine. Following the refusal, the elderly man reportedly experienced a sudden deterioration in his health.
He collapsed on the road and died at the scene. The incident subsequently raised serious concerns among his family members and relatives.
Family Members Hold Traffic Wardens Responsible
Following the elderly man’s death, his heirs and relatives accused the traffic police personnel of being responsible for the tragedy.
They held the three wardens accountable for the incident, prompting further attention from the district police administration.
However, the allegations require investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the elderly man’s death and determine responsibility.
DPO Suspends Three Traffic Police Officials
Taking notice of the incident, DPO Irfan Ali Samoon ordered the suspension of all three traffic police personnel involved.
He also appointed Syed Jamshed Ali Shah as the investigation officer to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Furthermore, the DPO instructed the investigation officer to conduct a detailed and comprehensive inquiry. He directed him to establish the facts and determine responsibility for the incident.
The investigation will examine the conduct of the suspended personnel and the circumstances leading to the elderly man’s death.
The suspension marks an immediate administrative response as authorities begin investigating the incident. However, the inquiry will determine whether the traffic officials were responsible for any negligence.
