Wearing a helmet while riding a bike is extremely important. But sometimes people tend to forget to carry it in a hurry and end up paying fine. However, not everyone grabs the attention of the police and gets into a hilarious exchange with them.
A man in Pune was sent a chalan by the police after he was clicked not wearing a helmet by CCTV cameras installed on the streets. On receiving the challan , Melvin Cherian, an entrepreneur shared the challan on the micro-blogging site Twitter and sarcastically wrote, "Thank you @PuneCityPolice. I look good. Will pay the chalan though."
The tweet by Cherian, the co-founder of a health tech firm also had a photo of him not wearing a helmet.
The Pune police responded immediately to the post and wrote, "Sure. P.S: A black helmet will go very well with that nice black jacket though." They also concluded their post with the hashtag #WearAHelmet.
Sure 😀.
