Traffic police officer masquerading as 'God of death' patrolled streets to prevent accidents

With a number of people losing their lives in road accidents every day, a traffic police constable in Jharkhand, north India, donned the look of 'God of death' to create awareness about road safety.



Dressed as 'Yamraj', the 'God of death', constable Rajesh Kumar walked on the streets of Ranchi to make people aware of traffic rules. The awareness initiative aims to educate people about the importance of helmets and seat belts, the need to possess a driving licence and about dangerous practices like triple riding.



While many have benefited from the initiative, says Kumar, several others choose to remain indifferent. Kumar, along with his colleagues, caught traffic violators and created awareness about traffic rules.

They also distributed pamphlets on road safety. A student, Sanjay Kumar Pandey, who was caught for traffic violation said that he was made aware of the need to obey traffic rules by the 'Yamraj'.
