Piyush Varshney says he received an e-challan of Rs 500 for not wearing a helmet in his car.

In a bizarre incident, a man in Aligarh was spotted wearing a helmet while driving his car. The man claimed on Saturday that he had started wearing a helmet while driving his car after getting fined for not wearing one.

Speaking to ANI, Piyush Varshney said that he received an e-challan of Rs 500 on August 27 for not wearing a helmet while driving his four-wheeler.

"Due to fear of getting challan again, I am wearing a helmet while driving the car. On challan issued, there was my car number," he said.

The police said that it could be a mistake which would be rectified after the challan's verification.

"We got a complaint from a man who said that he got an e-challan for not wearing a helmet and there was the number of his car on the challan. We are verifying the challan. Several times mistakes were found due to wrong feeding of data. We can verify the challan and will cancel it if we found it wrong," Superintendent of Police, Traffic, Ajijul Haq told reporters here.
