LAHORE: A shocking video exposing a traffic warden’s involvement in a bribery scandal has gone viral, sending waves of outrage across social media. The video, shared widely by locals and picked up by local media outlet, reveals a disturbing case of corruption within the traffic police department.
The footage shows a traffic warden stationed at the Khidmat Markaz Liberty branch in Lahore, who was approached by an individual over the phone with a rather unusual request. The caller explained that his pregnant wife was unable to attend the required test to obtain a full driver’s license due to her condition, but desperately needed a valid license for an upcoming visa application. However, the wife only possessed a learner’s permit.
In a shocking turn of events, the warden agreed to “arrange” the license in exchange for a bribe, claiming that he could bypass the system for a fee of Rs. 12,000. After some negotiation, the bribe was settled at Rs. 10,000, with the warden assuring the caller that the matter would be taken care of.
As the story unfolded, the local media team, who had been tipped off about the corruption, swiftly confronted the warden in person. Upon being confronted with the video evidence, the warden’s behavior became increasingly hostile, refusing to admit his wrongdoing and even resorting to verbal abuse when questioned about the bribe. His defiant attitude further fueled public anger, leading to widespread calls for accountability.
This disturbing revelation has ignited a firestorm of criticism, with citizens expressing disbelief that such blatant misconduct could take place within a government department meant to uphold the law. The matter was escalated to the higher authorities within the traffic police.
In response to the scandal, officials from the Lahore Traffic Police have vowed to take immediate and strict action against the corrupt officer. Sources within the department have confirmed that an internal inquiry has been launched, and disciplinary measures are being considered, which could include suspension or even termination. The public’s outrage has prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the warden’s actions and whether this case is isolated or part of a broader network of corruption.
The video, now circulating across social media, has sparked widespread outrage, with many citizens demanding transparency and accountability from local law enforcement. With the pressure mounting, this scandal is expected to serve as a wake-up call for authorities to address systemic corruption within the traffic police department.
As the investigation unfolds, this scandal will likely serve as a cautionary tale about the dangerous intersection of corruption, negligence, and exploitation of vulnerable individuals in the public service sector. The public eagerly awaits updates on the actions taken by authorities to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
