Hyderabad SI suspended after letting six-year-old granddaughter drive, claims he was preparing her for Guinness World Record
A Sub-Inspector in Hyderabad has been suspended after a video surfaced showing his six-year-old granddaughter driving a car on a public road. The officer defended the act by claiming he was training the child to secure a Guinness World Record.
Cyberabad police officials suspended Sub-Inspector Chandrasekhar after footage emerged of a young child operating his vehicle on the busy Gandhamguda–Bairagiguda road. The video captured the minor behind the steering wheel while traffic accumulated behind the car, sparking widespread public safety concerns.
Upon questioning, the Sub-Inspector reportedly justified the incident by stating he was preparing his granddaughter for a future Guinness World Record attempt. However, law enforcement authorities deemed the act a severe violation of safety protocols and a misuse of his position.
Further investigation into the vehicle's history revealed it had six pending traffic challans totaling ₹3,800 for previous violations. The officer remains under suspension pending a full departmental inquiry into the matter. Source: Local news reports.
