A woman from Ludhiana has found herself in serious legal trouble after videos of her performing dangerous stunts on a Royal Enfield motorcycle went viral on social media. The Ludhiana Commissionerate Police took swift action, issuing a hefty challan of Rs 33,000 for multiple traffic violations.
Viral Videos Trigger Police Action
The incident came to light after several clips surfaced online, showing the woman, identified as Kashish, riding a black Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in a reckless manner. The videos, which were widely shared, captured her performing stunts that endangered both herself and other road users. One particularly alarming video showed her riding without holding the handlebars, a clear act of negligence.
Acting on the viral content, the police from the Ludhiana Commissionerate's Partap Chowk police station launched an investigation. They were able to identify the rider and the vehicle involved. The police confirmed that the challan was issued under the relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act for dangerous driving and other offenses.
Hefty Fine for Multiple Violations
The total fine of Rs 33,000 was not for a single offense but was compounded from multiple traffic violations captured in the videos. The police meticulously reviewed the evidence to book the rider for all applicable charges. This significant penalty sends a strong message about the consequences of such irresponsible behavior on public roads.
Authorities have emphasized that performing stunts on public streets is not only illegal but also poses a grave risk to the safety of the rider and everyone else sharing the road. The police have urged citizens to use roads responsibly and have warned that strict action will be taken against anyone found violating traffic rules, especially for acts of dangerous driving.
A Warning Against Reckless Riding
This case highlights the growing trend of individuals recording and sharing risky stunts for social media clout, often without considering the legal and safety implications. The Ludhiana police's prompt action in this instance is being seen as a deterrent measure.
The police have also advised the public to refrain from engaging in or promoting such activities. They encourage people to report any instances of dangerous driving or stunt riding they witness, either in person or through viral videos, so that appropriate legal action can be taken. The goal is to ensure the roads of Ludhiana are safe for all commuters.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that traffic laws are in place for everyone's protection and that violating them for thrill or online popularity can lead to severe financial and legal repercussions.
