Police claim bikers interf­ered in offici­al workRAWALPINDI: Three traffic wardens ended up getting suspended for allegedly whipping three young motorcyclists with belts on Saturday, allegedly for riding their motorbikes in precarious manner. Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) took strict notice of the abuse of power committed by the traffic policemen and suspended them to ensure a fair investigation of the matter. All three motorcyclists were lashed with a belt by the wardens for flouting the ban on pillion riding owing to which they got seriously wounded. However, the New Town police gave a clean chit to the traffic personnel in the entire matter. This is the second case recently in the district where motorists have been beaten by the traffic personnel.
