Noida Expressway stunt goes viral, couple slapped with Rs 53,500 fine

The five-second clip, which went viral on Sunday, shows neither of them wearing a helmet, though the woman casually holds one in her hand. The bike bears a Delhi number plate.

Following this, the Noida Traffic Police has issued a challan of Rs 53,500 to the duo for performing the stunt on a moving motorcycle along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway on Sunday.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Lakhan Singh Yadav said they received information about the incident through a social media video in which the bike rider along with the pillion rider were seen violating traffic norms. Yadav said a challan of Rs 53,500 was issued.

Speaking to The Indian Express, a senior police officer said, “After taking the viral video into consideration we also verified it through cameras installed along the Expressway.”
“The challans were issued after they were found violating sections 181, 184, 184A and 194D of the Motor Vehicles Act. These sections mainly deal with driving without a licence, dangerous driving, disobedience of lawful directions, and riding without a helmet,” he added.

“We have alerted the traffic police and instructed them to take strict action against the duo. We are also appealing to people to not perform such stunts on any vehicle,” Yadav said.

On May 24, a 25-year-old Delhi resident was booked for allegedly driving his SUV recklessly on Noida’s streets and fined Rs 35,000.

In videos that surfaced on social media, he was seen driving an SUV on a street near Amity University in Noida’s Sector 125.
