There are many CCTV cameras on the roads that monitor the movement of vehicles and check if anyone is breaking any traffic rules. Challans for traffic violations are also issued online and the offender is notified via a text message. A man got a similar notification from the Bengaluru traffic police regarding a challan for not wearing a helmet. However, he decided to challenge the police for issuing him a challan – but it backfired tremendously.

A man named Felix Raj who goes by the username @chrisfe143 on Twitter shared a photo he received of the traffic violation that showed his scooter. The photo did not show him riding the scooter without a helmet.
