Traffic rules like wearing a helmet while driving a two wheeler or fastening the seat belt of your car is mandatory for everybody. But a video has surfaced online and has gone insanely viral which shows two Uttar Pradesh cops travelling on a bike at night without helmets. Two women who were on a scooter confronted the cops in Ghaziabad for not wearing helmets.
In the clip shared on the microblogging site Twitter the women can be seen following the bike of the cops and asking them the reason for not wearing helmets. They can also be heard saying that traffic rules apply to all. However, the cops did not pay much heed and kept driving.
Later the the Ghaziabad traffic police took cognizance of the matter and challaned the two police officers for violation of traffic rules.
The clip was shared by a Twitter user @MANJULtoons with the caption, ''Such citizens are needed.''
Since being shared the clip has amassed 394.9k views, 4,711 likes and tons of comments.
"A very rare incident of police running away from citizens," wrote one user on seeing the post.
"No helmet plus breaking lane rules pule over speeding multiple traffic rules violations and they accuse us," wrote another user.
While another differed and wrote, "It can be recorded and forwarded to the appropriate authority for action on violation. But she is shouting and chasing them which in itself is rash and risky for her and others around her."
