Police to probe abusive drivers’ actions

An investigation has been initiated by a special Police investigation which led to the arrest of the driver of the car who was driving   in violation of traffic rules and disobeying Police orders to stop near the Delkanda junction at Nugegoda.

The incident happened on Monday. Police officers who were on traffic duty on High Level Road, observed a car that was driving at high speed without any regard for the lane rules.

Although the Police officers signaled the car to stop, the driver had not heeded the call thus flouting traffic rules.

The two traffic Policemen on duty gave chase to the car and stopped it at the Delkanda junction.

When the Police officers had questioned the driver about his failure to stop and violation of traffic regulations, the driver started abusing the Police officers in foul language stating that he knew people in high places.

He had also boasted that he can get the driving license that the officers took delivered to his home.

This drama by the driver which was recorded by a Police officer on his mobile phone has gone viral on social media.

Police Media Spokesman Senior Superintendent of Police Nihal Talduwa said that an investigation is underway and legal action will be taken against the driver for traffic violations and obstruction to Police duty.
