The probe into a case in which learner’s test for driving licence was being arranged even for illiterate people by collecting cash during the pandemic is about to be handed over to the police cyber cell.
Media had reported many cases of even migrant workers with no knowledge of Malayalam clearing learners test during the pandemic. Driving school operators were suspected to be acting as intermediaries in the illegal practice through which many secured driving licence. This had even led to raids by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau at many Regional Transport Offices.
Following this, the Transport Commissioner had declared a probe to clear the name of the Motor Vehicles department by bringing the culprits before the law. As per the preliminary assessment, a Cherai-based driving school operator was behind it.
