The Traffic DSP vehicle challan incident in Bihar created a big debate. It happened in Sasaram, where the personal vehicle of the Nawada Traffic DSP hit a student near the post office. Locals stopped the driver when he tried to escape. The officer later admitted that it was his personal vehicle.
The Traffic DSP vehicle challan issue grew when police found a “Police” board on his private car. He used it to show authority, even though it is illegal on non-official vehicles. The Rohtas traffic police quickly took action. They seized his car and issued a challan for misuse of the police logo.
Police officials said more action will follow if the injured student’s family files a formal complaint. They also warned the public not to use government symbols or logos on private vehicles. Anyone caught will face strict legal action.
Residents of Sasaram expressed anger because the injured girl was taken to the hospital in the same vehicle that hit her. The incident raised questions about misuse of power by senior officers. The challan against a high-rank officer has now sparked statewide discussion.
