Mysore/Mysuru: Though the Criminal Procedure Code grants permission to Police officers to pull over any vehicle, search any person or impose penalties on any person for violation regardless of his rank or of his post, it is rarely done if the violator is from the Police Department. Violators get away with the violation and the matter is usually brushed under the carpet.
However, the Devaraja Traffic Police have set an example by booking two drivers of Police vehicles for violating the ‘No Parking’ rule on the busy D. Devaraj Urs Road and causing public inconvenience.
