In June we reported that the police were investigating a hit-and-run case. Facebook user Zufar Khan Ismail Khan first identified the car on June 16. His video showed the car purposely hitting a motorcyclist and running away after the biker fell.
Zufar in appealing for witnesses to the horrendous act identified the vehicle number as SKA1713J. He appealed for the authorities to do something about the hit-and-run case.
The car had also been previously flagged for dangerous driving in April 2015.

We have written to LTA to ask if the person being charged for the hit-and-run case is the same man who is under employ in the LTA.
