Chikkaballapur: Everybody is aware of the RTO officials stopping the vehicles for inspection and seeking necessary documents. But have you ever heard of a truck driver counter questioning the identity of the RTO officers?
One such incident has been reported from the district, wherein the RTO officials had stopped 5 tipper trucks for over speeding as well as for overloading, here on Thursday, December 20.
In the midnight, RTO officer Nagi Reddy stopped the tipper trucks and found that the loads were being transported without proper records. When he went on to seize the load with his team of officials, the tipper truck drivers asked for Nagi Reddy’s identity. Due to this, there was a verbal spat for sometime between the drivers and the officials.
To settle the matter, the RTO officer had shown his identity card to the truck drivers during which the truck drivers reportedly, escaped from the spot.
The RTO officials called up the nearby police station of the district, to which they did not receive apt response.
Due to this attitude of the police, the RTO officials were unhappy.
However, the five tipper trucks are now seized and a complaint has been filed.
