Dressed as Santa Claus and adorning white beard, two policemen were seen handing out sweets to traffic violators. They also held placards informing people about the importance of wearing a helmet.

However, this is not the first time cops taken assistance from a fictional character. Earlier this year, the Traffic police in Bengaluru took help from ‘Yamaraja’, the God of death, to warn motorists not following traffic rules.
