Sunroof stunt backfires: DC orders action against Health minister's son

Ranchi (Uttam Hindu News): Krish Ansari, son of Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari, is once again embroiled in controversy. This time, a video of him is rapidly going viral, showing him waving from the sunroof of a moving car amid a convoy of vehicles. Taking cognizance of the matter, the district administration has fined him ₹3,650.

In a video that went viral on social media, Krish Ansari is seen standing outside the sunroof and performing stunts. Considering the video a serious safety violation, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Manjunath Bhajantri took suo motu cognizance. He tweeted, directing the District Transport Officer (DTO) to take immediate action and also tagged the Ranchi Police and requested a report.

The administration has issued a challan of ₹3650 to the Health Minister's son under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, including those for unsafe driving and seat belt violation.

This isn't the first time minister's son Krish Ansari has been in the news. Previously, videos of him "visiting" hospitals went viral. In one video, he was seen inquiring about the well-being of patients at RIMS, while those present were referring to him as "the minister's elder son" and asking him to share his problems.

However, Minister Irfan Ansari flatly denied the allegations of oversight that surfaced on social media at the time. He clarified that his son had gone to RIMS to visit the father of one of his teachers and was trying to help some distressed tribal people there.
