Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 12 Jul, 2023 03:25 PM

A British Columbia RCMP Highway Patrol officer has been charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

The BC Prosecution Service says the charge for Cst. Robby Pawar stems from an incident that is alleged to have happened on Dec. 3, 2021, in Delta, B.C.

No other details about the incident were provided.

However, the prosecution service says the charge was approved by an "experienced Crown counsel."

It says the lawyer has no current or prior connection with the officer.

The Mountie's first appearance is scheduled to take place on August 2, 2023 in Surrey Provincial Court.
