Kolkata: The death of a 60-year-old bicycle fan in Parnashree on Sunday night is the third since December – around 45 days – where vehicles used to learn to drive are involved in fatal accidents.
The two previous incidents were reported from Garia (where the former police finally ran a senior scientist) and the Kolkata Skin Complex area.
The police said in the latest incident, accused Rajarshi Das (26) from Pallysree, an engineer who recently joined one of the top IT Kolkata companies, was learning to drive a SUV from “an acquaintance”, Shibam Jha (23).
The watershed has reached the Ranjit Poddar (60) from behind at UPEN Banerjee Road in Parnasree around 7:30 p.m.
“Das claimed he had a student license but had not registered at any motor school.
We have not found the instructor, Jha, registered with RTO.
We tried to build credentials.
We have caught a watershed and Jha to send a point.
The fact that it is not in the car Training is enough to demand both, “said DC (South Traffic) Atul V.
There were 25 fatal accidents in 2022, seven so far in February.
Lalbazar has asked all ACC to launch a campaign to spread the awareness that all student vehicles must be properly characterized, and the basic security rules are maintained.
“We will ask the Department of Transportation.
We have known that driving school audits have been completed recently.
We will ask them to share their findings.
Random inspection in the morning will also be done,” said an officer.
Student licenses are temporary legal documents that allow someone to learn how to drive in public places, provided that the person is accompanied or supervised by someone who holds a full license for four-wheeled vehicles.
The applicant must first take a computerized test of information related to driving and scored at least six of 10.
Police sources say even though someone must undergo training for a month before appearing for the last driving test, sometimes “big pressure” to track the transition or issue a certificate that says He has cleared the test without actually appearing for it.
The police said they were investigating if similar trajectories were followed in the JHA case.
