Driver held for ferrying eight passengers in an auto
Hyderabad: A 35-year-old auto-rickshaw driver was booked by Chandrayangutta police after a video showing him ferrying eight passengers went viral on social media. The video, uploaded three days ago, came to the notice of the police and led to his arrest on Friday.
He was travelling from Bahadurpura after picking up cooks from a function, on his way towards Chandrayangutta, when locals spotted the occupants hanging off the sides and rear of the vehicle.
A preliminary inquiry revealed that the hotel workers were all adults. Officials said no previous cases or challans were pending against the driver. Further investigation into the incident is underway.
