Indore traffic warden Shubhi Jain says police officer called her ‘ladies caste’ in rickshaw clash

Indore traffic warden Shubhi Jain, who has built a reputation for directing vehicles at busy intersections, became the centre of a controversy after a clash with a rickshaw driver at a city signal. During the altercation, she says a police officer on the scene addressed her with the phrase “ladies caste.”
The incident unfolded when the rickshaw driver allegedly ignored Jain’s instructions, prompting a verbal exchange that attracted nearby police personnel. According to Jain, the officer’s remark was not only disrespectful but also unprecedented in her years of service.
Jain’s complaint has sparked discussion on social media about the conduct of law‑enforcement officials towards traffic personnel, especially women. No official statement from the police department has been released as of now, and the matter remains under observation.
