A concerned resident helped police book a cab driver not only for carrying over 15 children in a Maruti van but also driving in a rash and negligent manner, in Malleswaram last Thursday.
Deepak Shingadia noticed the van in one of the small bylanes. The driver, later identified as Naveen, was driving in a rash and negligent manner while the children were battling for space inside.
Mr. Shingadia pursued the vehicle from MES School in Malleswaram to East West Public School at Subramanya Nagar. He took pictures that he uploaded on the traffic police website.
Police tracked down the vehicle and booked Naveen for rash and negligent driving and violation of permit conditions (for carrying school children). He was told to pay a fine of Rs 3,300 and police have recommended suspension of his driving licence.
