Drunk auto driver punches traffic Police official after breaching 'no entry'

At around 9:00 PM last evening, an autorickshaw illegally entered a street near Devdoot Point where entry is prohibited.

Traffic Police official Kamrul Islam Mazumder who was deployed there saw the breach of traffic rules and stopped the autorickshaw. The driver, however, did not like the intervention and pulled a heavy punch at the traffic police official leaving him with a bleeding nose. 

The autorickshaw driver has identified himself as Arjun Das and is a resident of Debiprasad Road in Malugram area. After the locals saw the traffic police official bleeding, they lost their cool and started manhandling the auto driver.

Police officials from Silchar Sadar Police Station reached the spot and brought the situation under control. A bleeding Kamrul Islam Mazumder was sent to Silchar Civil Hospital for treatment while Arjun Das and his vehicle were escorted to Silchar Sadar Police Station.

What shocked the locals is the fact that Arjun Das does not even have a driving license. When the locals started interrogated Das, he said he is the owner of the vehicle which he has been riding for six months now. He also accepted that he was drunk and he had punched the traffic police official.

The locals questioned how is it that an auto-rickshaw driver dares to drive through the heart of the town without a driving license, how is it that he gets to own a passenger vehicle without the transport license. The incident has left many shocked.
