Complaint filed over ‘reckless’ driving

Ahmedabad: Two women living in neighbourhood in a residential society of the Naroda area indulged in verbal spat over a dispute of speed driving inside the society lane, states an FIR filed with Naroda police on Saturday.

In her FIR with Naroda police, Meenal Patel, 36, a resident of Neel Arcade bungalows in Naroda, stated that her neighbour, Sujatha Subramaniam, threatened and abused her and her husband alleging them of negligent driving.

On Tuesday evening, when Patel and her husband Jimmy came to their home in their car and parked it in front of their house, Subramaniam and her husband rushed to her and alleged that they did not know on how to drive a car.

“They began alleging that we were driving so recklessly that it might hit kids playing on the road. Though I and my husband tried to convince them that we took utmost care while driving the car, they continued to blame her,” Patel said in the FIR.

She said that Subramaniam threatened to kill her and her husband. “She threatened us that they would eliminate us and also said that even police cannot cause any harm to her and her family members. She threatened us with dire consequences if we would approach police,” said Patel.

After the incident, Patel family went out of the city for two days to avoid any scuffle. They returned to their house on Saturday and approached Naroda police about the issue.

Cops registered a complaint under charges of criminal intimidation and uttering of abusive words against Subramaniam and began an investigation.
