KATHMANDU: An inhumane behavior by a taxi driver has taken social media by storm. A video has been doing rounds in social media in which a taxi driver can be seen throwing a passenger out of his cab to die on a dusty busy road. A life could have been saved if the passenger was rushed to a hospital, but the cabbie showed no mercy.
Pravin Ranjit of Gokaneshwor Municipality-4 seated his father Gopal Ranjit on taxi following treatment at the Chabahil-based Medicare Hospital. Pravin then returned home on a scooter. But, to his surprise, his father didn’t turn up at home.
Pravin was shocked to know that his father was no more after receiving a call from police from Helping Hands Community Hospital. After reaching the hospital, he came to know that the cabbie dragged his father out of the taxi after he suffered a cardiac arrest. Later police took the patient to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Based on the footage of CCTV camera police have arrested the driver of the taxi, BA 1 KHA 3851, Kamal Shrestha. Shrestha told police that he left the patient on road as he was perplexed after the patient lost consciousness. Police said he will be charged with an offence against public peace.
चाबहिलबाट गोकर्णेश्वर जाने क्रममा आफ्नो ट्याक्सीमा रहेको पेशेन्जरलाई हार्टअट्याक हुँदा चालकले भित्रबाट बाहीर निकाली भागेछन् , जस्ले गर्दा बिरामीको दुखद देहावसन हुन पुग्यो । कस्तो मानवता ?
त्यस पछाडीको ट्याक्सी चालक अनी ती वरीपरी रहेका मान्छेहरू के हेरेर बसेका ?
