Kochi: In a rare move, Joint Regional Transport Officer (JRTO) revoked the driving license of the bike rider booked over a road accident that claimed the life of a woman in Thrippunithura. Transport authorities usually suspend the license for a stipulated period and revoking the license is a rarity.
The accident happened near SN Junction on November 17, 2022. According to police, Kanjiramattom native Vishnu in his speeding bike overtook Piravom native Kavya Dhanesh’s scooter from the left side and swiftly crossed her to the right to take a U-turn. She lost her balance and fell on the road. A speeding private bus crushed her to death on the spot. Vishnu was earlier involved in a similar case, which resulted in the death of a cyclist in 2020, said reports.
