“As Madan was not wearing his helmet, he was stopped by the on-duty traffic personnel. He was unable to produce his documents, when asked. Hence, the challan was issued,” the traffic police officer at the location said.

Mr. Madan, however, said that he had not violated any traffic rule and the amount was hefty.

“I have not violated any traffic rules. They asked me to produce the documents in 10 minutes, which was impossible. They stopped me for not wearing the helmet and said that I have been penalised ₹1,000 for that,” he added.
