Typo Leads to Wrong Externment Notice for Ahmedabad Driver
Imagine a dad, Mohammad, who drives an auto-rickshaw.
His son, Faizal, got into some trouble with the law, facing charges of assault and theft.
The police, by mistake, sent an official notice to the dad about this, instead of the son.
This notice told the dad he might have to leave the city!
Because the names were similar, a simple typo caused this mix-up.
Now, the dad has to get a lawyer to sort things out and prove he's not the one in trouble.
The police are looking into how this happened.
An autorickshaw driver in Ahmedabad received an externment notice meant for his son.
The notice cited assault and theft charges against his son.
A typographical error in the names led to the notice being sent to the father.
The father has to consult a lawyer and explain he has no criminal record.
Police are investigating the matter to correct the error.
