Delhi Police often take to their social media handles to create awareness about travelling safely and following traffic rules. It also uses the internet to debunk misinformation spreading on social media platforms. The police department has now shared a video on the microblogging site Twitter to issue a warning against performing stunts on motorcycles.
“AAL IZZ NOT WELL if you drive or ride dangerously for the sake of reels!” read the caption of the post in which one can see a man is seen riding a Royal Enfield Bullet with two pillion riders. The song Jaane Nahi Denge Tujhe from the film 3 Idiots, starring Amir Khan and Kareena Kapoor plays in the background. At the end of the video, a text appears that reads, "Bina challan ke jaane nahi denge tujhe (we won’t let you go without a challan)." A warning also flashes that says, "Don’t be an idiot on the roads. Drive responsibly."
Since being shared, the clip has amassed over 32,000 views, 280 likes and several comments.
"Is triple riding allowed in case of an emergency like a person is very sick or injured and there is no other mode of transport or ambulance available?", enquired one Twitter user.
"Real Emergency all may support, but don't misuse. Best wishes," commented another user on the post.
While another user wrote, "This is because people have no fear of delhi police...they know that if you are on 2 wheeler dp will not maie efforts to catch you. This is also the reason that most of the traffic police officials are fat. They will stop cars because of ease."
