SRP Constable Files Official Complaint Over Alleged Rash Driving Incident in Ahmedabad
In a concerning incident on the roads of Ahmedabad, a State Reserve Police (SRP) constable has formally lodged a complaint with local authorities, accusing a motorist of engaging in reckless and dangerous driving behavior. The complaint was officially registered at the Madhavpura police station this past Saturday, highlighting growing concerns about road safety and driver conduct in the city.
Details of the Alleged Traffic Violation
The complainant, identified as Kalpesh Patni, a 40-year-old resident of Asarwa, provided a detailed account of the incident to police investigators. According to his official statement, Patni was riding his personal motorcycle toward Science City at approximately 11:15 AM on Saturday morning when the alleged violation occurred.
As Patni was ascending the Shahibaug underbridge, he reported that a black SUV attempted to overtake his motorcycle in what he described as a dangerously aggressive manner. The vehicle allegedly came perilously close to his motorcycle, forcing him to execute a sudden emergency braking maneuver to avoid what could have been a serious collision.
Escalation of the Confrontation
The situation reportedly escalated further when, according to Patni's complaint, the driver of the SUV rolled down the vehicle's window and began shouting abusive language toward him. Demonstrating presence of mind despite the stressful situation, Patni continued riding until he reached a nearby traffic control point where he attempted to confront the motorist about the dangerous driving behavior.
In a significant development detailed in the complaint, when Patni identified himself as a police officer, the motorist allegedly fled the scene immediately, abandoning the traffic point without addressing the concerns raised about his driving conduct.
Official Documentation and Police Response
Traffic police personnel who were present at the location took immediate action by photographing the vehicle involved in the alleged incident, creating visual documentation that could potentially aid in identification and investigation. Following this initial response at the scene, Patni proceeded to file a formal written complaint with the Madhavpura police station to ensure the matter received official attention and investigation.
This incident underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement personnel even when off-duty and highlights broader issues of road safety and driver accountability in urban environments. The complaint has been officially recorded and is expected to undergo standard police investigation procedures to determine appropriate next steps and potential enforcement actions.
