While the importance of following traffic rules and adhering to certain laws on the roads are being promoted by the department time and again, it is not just for civilians but for all police officers as well. Everyone stands equal before the law and thus is equally eligible for punishment if the situation calls for it. However, not every day do we see police officers breaking traffic rules or going against the laws. Well, this was the case recently in Bengaluru’s RT Nagar where a traffic police personnel fined another cop for violating a traffic rule.
Taking to the official Twitter handle, the RT Nagar Traffic Police also shared a picture of the violator along with the officer-in-charge further stating that the person has been booked for the wrong use of his helmet. As per the caption, the person who has been identified as a police officer wore a ‘half helmet’ which is not allowed for two-wheelers in the city.
