NEW DELHI: A traffic head constable stopped a vehicle to issue a challan despite being "warned" that an officer of IG rank was seated inside it. Not only did he issue the challan, he also walked up to the senior officer in the car, saluted him as protocol demanded and let the vehicle go. After the senior officer recommended him for a reward, the traffic police has given the head constable (HC) a cash reward of Rs 1,000 on Monday.
The incident was reported on Friday in south Delhi when HC Neeraj Kumar, posted in Delhi Traffic Police's chase-and-challan wing, flagged down a vehicle that jumped a red light at the Kautilya Marg-Sardar Patel Marg crossing while moving from Gyarah Murti towards Dhaula Kuan. When the HC told the driver that he would be issued a challan, the driver reportedly told him that a joint director at the home ministry was in the vehicle and he was in a hurry.
"The driver told Neeraj that the senior officer had asked him to drive quickly to their destination. However, Neeraj told him that no police functionary would tell anyone to jump a red light and proceeded to continue with issuing the challan. The senior officer inside the vehicle continued to observe the proceedings without interfering. After issuing the challan, Neeraj went over to the rear window of the vehicle, saluted his senior as is customary, and left," said a senior traffic police officer.
