Bengaluru couple fined after video of ‘indecent act' through car sunroof goes viral
A Bengaluru couple has been fined by the Traffic Police after they were filmed engaging in 'indecent behaviour' through the sunroof of a moving car. The incident occurred in the city's Trinity Road on Tuesday, May 27, while the couple was returning home after having dinner in Koramangala.Videos of the act, filmed by other motorists trailing behind the vehicle, were soon circulated on social media. An X handle named 'Karnataka Portfolio' shared the clip, tagging the police and criticising the act as both a road hazard and a poor example to the public. The footage showed the couple leaning out of the sunroof while the car was in motion, drawing concerns over road safety and adherence to traffic norms.advertisementIn response to the video, police traced the vehicle owner using the Karnataka registration number and issued a fine of Rs 1,500. This included Rs 1,000 for dangerous driving and an additional Rs 500 for general traffic violations. Authorities reiterated that such behaviour not only endangers those directly involved but also puts other road users at risk.
The incident follows a similar episode reported on April 12, 2025, in which another young couple was caught on camera engaging in inappropriate public behaviour at the Madavara metro station platform. That video, also shared by the 'Karnataka Portfolio' account, captured the couple in intimate acts in the presence of other passengers, prompting public outrage and raising further questions about public conduct and decorum.advertisementWritten by Rahen Philip

In other instances, they took out insurance policies in the names of people suffering from terminal illnesses, such as cancer, as well as in the names of deceased individuals and then conspired to claim money from health and life insurance companies by forging documents and manipulating records."

The FIRs in those cases were closed, but police managed to reopen those after finding irregularities. Investigations have so far revealed that 29 death certificates used by the gang were completely fake, while some others were genuine but had tampered dates to align with insurance claims," Sharma said. The gang's operations were not limited to Sambhal district alone. Cases have also been identified in nearby districts, such as Amroha, Badaun and Moradabad, according to officials. Police said they believe the total fraud amount has already exceeded Rs 100 crore and the figure may rise further as the investigation progresses. Sharma said police have sought detailed data from various insurance companies and are scrutinising records currently to identify other suspicious claims. The suspected data will be shared with the insurance companies for further verification and follow-up action, she said.

She said the investigation is going on swiftly and more arrests are likely. Responding to a question about the ED's involvement in the case, Sharma confirmed that the federal agency has sought specific information, including FIR copies, which have been provided by police.
