Three youths in Chandigarh have caught the attention of authorities and the public. A video of them hanging out of SUV windows, sitting on the roof and even on the bonnets of vehicles has gone viral, drawing widespread criticism. The Chandigarh traffic police wasted no time in taking action, issuing challans against the reckless individuals and confiscating their driving licences.
This incident occurred on the day when the country’s Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, was in the city, prompting the police to take extra precautions for traffic safety. Despite the strict arrangements, the youth neglected the traffic rules.
