In a shocking report, a car in Chandigarh sector 34, was towed away by the Chandigarh Traffic police cop, which was wrongly parked on the road. What led to the suspension of the Traffic police cop was the 12-year-old child who was still inside the car while it was being towed away by the cop.

According to the report, Mohali-based Rajesh along with his wife and 12-year old son had gone to the apni mandi in sector 34, Chandigarh. The couple left the child sleeping inside the car while they left to buy vegetables.
