The validity of the license was over in 2018, preparation for reward on truck owner
Gulsher Khan, a driver who trampled passers -by on Indore Aerodrum Road, was driving a truck without a driving license. The validity of his license ended in 2018 itself. This Rajafash has been in the report received from the Transport Department. Based on this, the police has prepared to declare truck owner Sahil Khan accused as prize.
According to DCP Zone-1 Krishna Lalchandani, Gulsher was misleading. He had said that licenses and truck documents were burnt in the fire. The police wrote a letter to the RTO and asked for information, it was told that Gulsher’s license has ended in 2018 itself. The police also co-accused Sahil Khan. According to TI Tarun Bhati, the reward will be declared on the accused. Gulsher, a resident of Tanjim Nagar (Khajrana), currently lives in Dharampuri.
