Traffic police - bhagwan kare iska helmet chori ho jaye🤣 — Bhrustrated (@AnupamUncl) September 10, 2019 Why not making it simlple and safe by putting them in tool box. — FafdaJalebi (@MeetVirat) September 10, 2019 To be honest he has come up with a good idea for helmet manufacturing companies to develop a pocket or a space where documents can be put inside the helmet..🙏 — Sachin Yashwant Karlekar 🇮🇳 (@KarlekarSachin) September 10, 2019 Now his helmet worth around Lakhs.😄 — Arun Singh (@upwala_bhaiya) September 10, 2019 But he is doing something far worse. He is revealing personal information to anyone who sees his bike or helmet when it is parked. Identity theft is very real and more pertinent in this age when scamsters are prevalent. — AgentK (@navaneed86) September 10, 2019 True indian😀🤣 — Rishabh (@Rishabh39288221) September 10, 2019 This man will go places. — Sylvester (@SylvesterTamang) September 10, 2019
