JAMMU, Aug 31: The driver of a 407 matador, TV06F 2024 parked his vehicle at Patli More Chowk this afternoon to protest his thrashing by traffic cops resulting into a huge traffic jam on Jammu -Pathankote National Highway for over one hour.
The traffic was resumed on the highway after the Bari Brahmana Police Station SHO Arun Jamwal rushed to the spot and managed to pursue the protesting driver and his associate to remove the vehicle from the Chowk.
The SHO also asked the driver of the vehicle to give a written application to Police so that they can act on that and take action against the traffic cops under rules for thrashing him.
The trouble started after the driver of the vehicle did not pay any heed to the Naka laid by the Traffic police at National Highway near Kunjwani and even after being asked by the cops to stop he ran away ignoring them.
This enraged the cops on duty who chased the vehicle up to Patli More resulting into a scuffle between cops and the inmates of the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle Ramesh and his accomplice Sonu in protest parked the vehicle in the Main Chowk blocking the traffic on High way.
