Road safety compromise during the nakabandi (checkpoints to checks on motorists and bikers). In the incident, the traffic police officer tried to stop a biker who was riding without the helmet, but unfortunately the biker tried to dodge the police officer. In the process, he hit the officer, himself and his female companion. The video is shared extensively on Twitter. The Twitterati have split minds with some blaming the officer and some blaming the biker for not stopping. Here is my unbias opinion on who to blame.
The placement of barricades, If you notice the barricades are placed one on the left and other on the right. This is done so that motorist can slow down and go zig-zag. But in the video, you can notice motorist have right of way to go straight in full speed. Seriously Pathetic!
So, who is to blame? Well, every operation has the manager and the supervisor who is responsible for the safe execution of the operation and they are also responsible for the health and safety of their employees and patrons.
In this case, the head constable or supervising officer needs to be called for further investigation and should be suspended for a month and biker should be booked for negligent, rash driving and causing intentional harm to the officer.
What actually happened: Biker was booked but no investigation was carried within the department.

Unless enforcer authorities are not trained properly such incidents are bound to happen.
