Peshawar: Traffic cops suspended for issuing challan to PTI MPA

PESHAWAR: The City Police Officer (CTO) Peshawar on Saturday suspended two traffic wardens for issuing a challan to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Sher Ali Afridi, ARY News reported.

The traffic wardens reportedly imposed a fine of Rs500 on the MPA for violating traffic laws.

MPA Sher Ali Afridi had lodged a complaint to the CTO about traffic wardens over issuing him a challan ticket.

However, the traffic police in a statement, said the wardens were suspended for “misbehaving” with the lawmaker.
