CHANDIGARH, Nov 20: A truck driver from Kangra, accused of injuring a scooterist here, has been convicted and released on probation by UT Judicial Magistrate Ist Class A. K. Bishnoi. He has been directed to furnish a probation bond of Rs 10,000.

The convict, Janam Singh, was earlier booked by the Chandigarh Police for driving on the public highway so rashly as to endanger human life and for causing grievous hurt on the complaint of a City businessman, Kuldeep Singh.

In a statement before the police, the complainant had alleged that a speeding truck, after overtaking their scooter, had brushed past another scooter on the road dividing Sectors 46 and 49 near the Santoshi Mata temple, injuring one Jaswinder Singh.

He had added that the truck driver had stopped, but after seeing the injured scooterist, sped away.

The accused, when confronted with incriminating evidence against him, had, on the other hand, denied the allegations. Pleading innocence, he had claimed a trial.
