Chandigarh, July 8 -- For driving under the influence of liquor and misbehaving with traffic police personnel, a car driver has been awarded four days of community service in Chandigarh. During his atonement period, he will be made to educate other motorists about the very road safety principles he flouted. "The violator will be made to hold boards regarding traffic safety at the important intersections and lightpoints for a period of two hours daily during this sentence," said deputy superintendent of police (DSP, traffic administration) Neeraj Sarna. The court has ordered the suspension of the violator's driving licence for a period of three months and disqualified him from holding or driving any class of motor vehicle specified in the licence during the said period. The incident had taken place during the intervening night of July 4 and July 5 when accused Lovejot Singh, 26, of Gosalan village in Ludhiana and his co-passenger Gaganpreet Singh, 27, of Otalan village in Ludhiana, were stopped at a naka on the Sector 34/35 dividing road. The duo was in a Fortuner SUV, bearing registration number PB08 EM 0400. Upon examination, the driver was found to be under the influence of liquor. The breath analyser test recorded an alcohol level of 238 mg/100 ml of blood, which is substantially higher than the prescribed permissible limit of 30 mg/100 ml. This is equivalent to around 10 drinks for an average person. When traffic marshal Sukhjeet Kaur and other personnel present at naka asked the driver to produce his vehicle documents, he refused to cooperate, disclose his identity, and started misbehaving. A video of the incident purportedly showed the accused and his accomplice arguing with the traffic marshall, alleging she had threatened to slap them. When a PCR vehicle arrived at the spot, the duo also misbehaved with local police. After arrest, the accused were medically examined at Government Multi Specialty Hospital (GMSH) Sector 16. The duo was produced before the sub-divisional magistrate, South Division while the traffic challan was forwarded to the local court for adjudication. During the court proceedings, the accused pleaded guilty to the offence. Accordingly, the court of Sachin Yadav, chief judicial magistrate, Chandigarh, imposed a fine of Rs.10,000, with a default sentence of 15 days' simple imprisonment in case of non-payment of the fine. The court further directed the violator to perform four days of community service....
