A man in Bihar was reportedly issued a traffic challan for not wearing a seatbelt while riding his two-wheeler.

According to reports, Krishna Kumar Jha said he recently found out that he had been issued a challan for a traffic violation in Bihar’s Samastipur in 2020 and bizarrely enough, while checking the details, it was revealed that the Rs 1,000 fine was for not wearing a seatbelt on his Scooty in October 2020. Moreover, he found out that someone had already paid the fine.

Speaking to news agency PTI, Jha, who owns a Scooty (a scooterette), said that on April 27, while travelling in a train to Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi, he recieved text message on his phone, saying that a traffic challan of Rs 1,000 had been issued against him and upon checking the details, it mentioned that the fine was for not wearing a seatbelt.

On top of receiving the bizarre challan, it was also mentioned that someone had already deposited the fine.

Meanwhile, Bihar Traffic Police, while acknowledging the blooper, said that the challan which Jha had recieved was issued manually and they are currently convertingt all manual challans into e-challans.

A Bihar traffic police official said the Jha received the challan due to some error in the conversion process and its being checked where the error ocurred.

In a similar incident, in February this year, a man in Odisha was issued a challan of Rs 1,000 for not wearing seatbelt while riding his scooter.

As per reports, Abhisekh Kar, a resident of Rajgangpur, was fined Rs 1,000 for not wearing a seatbelt on his two-wheeler.

Speaking to Odisha TV, Kar said he found out later that the photo on the e-challan wasn’t his but of another person and later approached the local transport officials and the officials at Odisha’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to bring the error to their notice.

According to reports quoting official sources, the ED conducted raids at four offices of Manappuram Finance across Kerala, including its headquarters in Thrissur and the home and office of its promoter VP Nandakumar.

They said the raids are part of the central probe agency’s investigation against the financial company for allegedly contravening Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines and collecting public deposits worth over Rs 150 crore, adding that ED—which probes financial crimes—is investigating Manappuram Finance for alleged money laundering and the searches were undertaken to gather evidence in the purported case.

The sources claimed that the ED is looking at gathering documents and recording statements of the company executives in connection with its suspicion that the company has made “large-scale” cash transactions by violating KYC regulation set by the RBI, as per reports.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has been warning commuters against filming Instagram reels, videos, or dancing inside Delhi Metro trains. However, there have been many incidents where commuters are seen breaking the rules.

It has become very common for passengers to make videos of a staged quarrel or fight, do obscene things, and act out scenarios inside the metro to get attention, and in the hopes that the video goes viral.

People do not enjoy such videos anymore, and therefore they were not impressed after seeing another viral video of the same kind.

Yet another video of a woman passenger, with a verified Instagram account ‘itz_officialroy’, posted a video on Instagram, in which she can be seen grooving inside a Delhi Metro coach. She is dancing to a Punjabi song Shape, sung by Kaka, and the internet users are very annoyed. The video seems to be filmed inside the women’s coach.

The woman wrote in the caption of the video that she knows it’s not allowed but she did it for the first time in Delhi Metro.

Watch the viral video here:

The clip went viral very soon but the social media users were not pleased. People commented on the video that why was she making a video even after knowing the rules and they demanded an action to be taken by the authorities. They also pointed out how DMRC regularly shares posts advising passengers not to disturb others during their journey.

A user commented that Delhi will soon become Ohio in its second version if people continue behaving like this.

Earlier, another video of a girl went viral for travelling in the metro wearing a bralette and a mini skirt. There are several other videos that have gone viral, and neither the authorities nor the people are happy with it.
