HYDERABAD: An insensitive Hyderabad traffic police posted on a social networking website the video of a gory accident that took place on the city roads on Tuesday morning. The video shows a 19-year-old girl on a scooter jumping the red light and getting mowed down by an RTC bus. The victim, Ritika Agarwal, a resident of Rakabganj and B Com first-year student of Aurora Degree College in Chikkadpally, is in a critical condition in a private hospital.The accident took place at 7.30 am at Nampally’s Mozamjahi market crossroads. Despite the traffic signal from Begum Bazaar to Abids having turned red, the girl in her scooter is seen jumping the signal by avoiding two oncoming cars only to be hit by an RTC bus proceeding towards Begum Bazaar from Nampally. Due to the high speed collision, Ritika was thrown off the vehicle and her head rammed on to the road. As she was not wearing a helmet, the teenager suffered severe head injuries.The footage of the accident, which was beamed on the city traffic page on Facebook , runs until the point a few people gather around the victim after the accident. The images were captured by the surveillance cameras at the traffic signal.What the traffic police seem to be missing is that in wanting to prove their point that the girl had jumped the red light and invited the accident upon herself, it has become completely insensitive to what trauma and agony the family members of Ritika are going through. With a severe head injury and in a critical condition, the victim has been kept under 48 hour observation in the ICU of Care Hospital at Nampally. “There is no guarantee that those who saw the video will become ruleabiding road users, but it is certain that the traffic cops have traumatized the victim’s family and all others by posting the video. Senior heads should roll for this inhuman act,” said a parent disgusted after seeing the video. “This is a clear human rights violations. Anybody in their right senses would not put up such gory pictures for public viewing,” said Sai Prakash, an executive in a private firm. C V Anand, Additional commissioner, traffic, Hyderabad, was not available for comments.But the deputy commissioner of traffic, Ashok Kumar sought to the justify the police action. He told TOI: “In the past also we have put up such videos where rule violation is the cause of the accident.” Many Facebook users blamed the traffic police for not being present at a busy traffic junction during rush hour on a week day. “There should have been a traffic constable at least to monitor the traffic. Just by saying that the duty starts at 8.30 or 9 am is not an explanation. People do not start for their offices or schools at 9 am,” said Rahul Dwaraka Gowlikar. Meanwhile, the cops booked a case under section 337 (causing injuries due to rash or negligent act) of the IPC against the RTC bus driver Mahmood who is absconding.The traffic police under the leadership of C V Anand has become hyper active of late. But analysts pointed out that this hyperactivity is limited to fining drivers supposedly jumping traffic signals, a move that fills the coffers of the police department. But Anand and his colleagues are mysteriously silent about illegal use of red and blue light by so called VIPs whom the police assist by clearing traffic on busy roads. “Bringing violations to book and sensitizing the drivers is good. But if they have the guts, let them book the illegal red and blue light users,” said an incensed citizen.
