Kerala traffic police goof up: Car owner fined for not wearing helmet properly

Traffic police (Representative image)

This is what the challan stated and as proof of the same, the challan shows two people riding a bike with the pillion rider not wearing a helmet. At the same time, the challan also indicates that the vehicle class is 'motor car' and the registration number is that of Ajith's car -- KL21D9877.

The goof-up seems to have occurred as the registration of the motorbike, an image of which is attached to the challan appears to be KL21D9811. However, Ajith said that he has decided to file a complaint with the Motor Vehicles Department to address the issue.

On the other hand, police said it could be the result of a clerical or typographical error when the registration number was being entered into the system.
