Toto driver's wife burst into tears outside Chief Minister's residence in Jharkhand, pleads for justice

A heart-wrenching scene unfolded outside the Chief Minister's residence today as the wife of an electric Toto driver, visibly distressed, was seen crying and pleading for justice. The woman's husband, who drives an electric Toto for a living, has faced repeated harassment over the lack of a permit.

Third Incident of Seizure

According to the tearful woman, her husband's Toto was seized for the third time in Ranchi under the pretext of not having the necessary permit. She alleges that each time, the vehicle was released only after paying a hefty sum to the authorities. The financial burden has become unbearable for the family, who already struggle to make ends meet.

A Plea for Fairness

In a desperate plea, the woman questioned why electric Totos are not granted permits, which would allow them to operate legally without the fear of harassment. "Where will a poor man get so much money every time?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion. The lack of a permit has not only threatened their livelihood but has also plunged the family into financial distress.
