Under-aged riders: Police impound bikes, detain boys

SHABQADAR: Charsadda police have detained a number of under-aged bikers and impounded their rides too during a three-day drive against juvenile bikers, and motorbike riders going about without helmets, licence and vehicle registration papers. The boys and the bikes were released only after their parents submitted affidavits for not allowing their children to ride motorbikes until they were big enough to acquire CNIC and licence. Charsadda District Police Officer Irfan Ullah Khan has issued special directives to traffic police urging them to impound bikes of under-aged riders.
