Remember the time people did crazy things when the amendment in Motor Vehicles Act was executed back in September of 2019? Well, it seems like the antics have made a comeback.
According to a PTI report, a 20-year-old man set his motorcycle on fire after being challaned by the traffic police. The incident took place in Delhi's Greater Kailash area.?
He set his motorcycle on fire after he was challaned by the traffic police in south Delhi's Greater Kailash area on Wednesday, police said.?A senior police official said that Vikas, a resident of Sangam Vihar, was challaned for riding his motorcycle without a helmet.?
After the traffic police challaned him and impounded the motorcycle Vikas got angry and set his own bike on fire. A case has been registered against the accused and he has been arrested.?
This incident is strongly reminiscent of the one that took place in September last year, where a Delhi man set his bike on fire after being challaned. He was fined more than Rs 11,000 for three violations: drunk driving, riding without a helmet and not carrying the registration certificate. Rakesh, a resident of Sarvodaya Enclave set his bike on fire in south Delhi¡¯s Sheikh Sarai area.?
Many people were fined huge amounts under the then-new MV Act which was put in to effect on September 1, 2019, and it enraged the general public.?
