A man was fined for not wearing helmet while driving

Everything is possible in India. You can drive on the wrong side when the cops are around and still manage to go unnoticed, you can drive without a proper licence and you can even carry eight passengers in your Maruti Suzuki Alto.

But recently a bizarre event took place in Meerut. A man was fined for not wearing a helmet while driving a car. Shocking right? Shailender Singh, who was driving in Hasanpur area with his four-year old child, was stopped by a traffic policeman, asking him to show his driving licence and relevant documents. Even though Shailender had all the documents with him, constable  Shivraj Singh didn't let him go, resulting in an argument. Later, Shailender was fined for not wearing helmet.

Cops in India tend to get hyper when someone argues which results into an ego clash. Often the public is in the wrong and insist on not being wrong, we don’t say that our traffic constables are not doing a good job, but seems like this cop was just an overenthusiastic one.

While the police department said that the cop wanted to fine him for talking over the phone, he accidentally issued the wrong fine which is possible.
