Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 4 : A Kerala Police officer has been arrested after hitting a two-wheeler in Kerala’s Trissur.The officer was found in an inebriated state.
The incident occurred late Monday night, when ASI Prasanth was returning to his police camp after attending a party.
At Kammara, the car which Prasanth was driving, hit a two-wheeler seriously injuring the two riders.
Onlookers were aghast when the car did not stop and sped away.
But after driving one kilometre, the car came to a halt after its tyre went flat.
Soon the locals gathered and found the people in the car in a drunken state, and called the police.
Later it was known that Prasanth was an ASI attached to the police camp in Malappurram.
A furore broke out and finally the police team decided to register a case against Prasanth for drunken driving and his arrest was recorded.
Incidentally this incident came hours after a Kerala Police official was seen kicking a passenger who did not have a Sleeper class ticket to travel in the reservation compartment at Kannur.
The video went viral and the official was suspended.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan called a meeting of high-ranking officials and gave them a dressing down.
But, hours after this meeting, the Trissur incident took place.
