NEW DELHI: Delhi Traffic Police has slapped a fine of Rs 11,000 on a motorcycle rider after a video of him with a woman sitting on the fuel tank of the two-wheeler facing him made rounds on the internet.

In the video, the man is seen riding a motorcycle while the woman is sitting in front of him and hugging the rider without wearing a helmet.

The accused rider is also seen overtaking several vehicles.

"Taking cognisance of a viral video wherein the two-wheeler was being driven dangerously, @dtptraffic has booked the offender under appropriate sections. A total fine of Rs 11,000 has been imposed," the Delhi Police said in a tweet.

They also urged people to drive safely and not to copy movie scenes.
