Srinagar, Apr 26: The transport authorities in Kashmir on Wednesday ordered the suspension and cancellation of two more Registration Certificates (RCs) of the “involved vehicles” in response to the case involving alleged harassment.
The case pertains to the allegations of a family from the Srinagar outskirts that a group of boys riding two-wheelers harassed them.
The office of the Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Kashmir, by exercising powers under Section 54 of the MVA, 1988, issued two separate orders, calling for the suspension of the registration certificate of the vehicle number JK01AS-1158 with immediate effect and cancellation of the RC of the vehicle number JK01AR-1634 for a period of one year.
Meanwhile, the RTO Kashmir, in a separate order, exercised powers under Section 180 of MVA, 1988, and imposed a penalty of Rs 5,000 upon Mehraj Din Ganaie, present owner and possessor of the vehicle used in “offence”, for causing and permitting his vehicle to be driven by a person who did not possess a valid driving licence.
The order states that “Hial Mehraj is complicit in the offence and has acted irresponsibly, not only allowing his vehicle No: JK01AS-1158 to be used in contravention of the provisions of this MV A, 1988, but also allowing his son Mr Hazik Mehraj, a juvenile to drive his vehicle”.
A video went viral on social media last month wherein a family traveling in a car was seen seeking help while a group of youth on scooties were chasing and allegedly attacking them in the Parimpora area of Srinagar, following which Srinagar Police arrested the group of youth.
